Visiting

Matt's brother Marty, his wife, Jaclyn and their daughter Raya came for a long weekend visit over Father's Day. We had fun visiting with each other and watching the kids play together.

Raya is an only child(not for long!) and is used to having a house to herself and not much commotion. Needless to say when she got here she was in shock for the first day. She quickly adapted the next day and got right into the mix of the "wiggy 5". Avery and Mallory loved playing "mom" to Raya and were by her side the entire time. By the end of the visit Raya had caught on and started following Rachel around and was watching out for her!

After the kids went to bed the adults stayed up and played board games, Pente and Cranium. The boys got a reminder that, girls really are smarter than boys!!! Nice try though gentlemen.

We spent the majority of our time just hanging out at home. We really enjoyed chilling out and letting the kids play together. We didn't have anything on our agenda and played everything by ear. The kids had so much time to play and enjoyed every minute of it. It was so great.

It did stop raining long enough on Father's day for us to go to the pool. The kids all enjoyed that and Raya even went down the water slide. Way to go Raya!!
