Messy, yet fun

One of the days they were here we went to play putt-putt, go go carting, and some enjoyed the water park.

Lining it up

I don't really know what we are doing here. "Lets all stand here and look like we know what we are doing" :] or not

On to the next one.

Doesn't everyone look happy? :) I think the sun was getting to us.

Lunch time!

Cheesy Faith :~}

Hmm... this is fun and all but I think I should get this off before mommy looks over here...

We never run out of food when we are with family. :~}

Silly

Go Mommy!

Dad was being mean to Grandma... don't worry, she smacked him :]

Jessica didn't seem to like this picture of herself, I don't really know why though... :D

Water

I thought this one was funny :)

Look, what great form.

I know what I'm doing, I learned from Papa and Daddy. :)

Now Carter, I'm going to show you just how it's done.
(Grandma laughs in the background) :D

Dad, and Brad seem to think it was a good hit, but Jessica doesn't seem to think so.

Parker!

Mom found herself a seat. :)

How many more are there?!

Hey, No bumping!

That's what you get.

There they are again.

Back Home!!!

OK, I had to tell about the flight last night.
We had to take off first, as you all know by now that is the best part most of the time.
Now I enjoyed that, but the landing was even better!
It was raining so it was really bumpy and fun (for the most part that is:)
Turbulence is fun, but there is a little thought in the back of your head going- this may not be good.... this may not be good...
But it was fun anyway, and we are now home and safe.
So that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. :)

Highlights of the day-
1. Got my water bottle, with MI water in it! :D
2. Started on the way HOME!
3. Went to Steak 'n Shake
4. GOT HOME!
5. Looked around at the cleanness of the house! (though there is still more to be done) :P
6. Looked around at the FANS! Very thankful for them!
7. Got to see Jessica and the kids, even though it was only a minute.
8. Tony and Hannah stopped by, it was great to see them!
9. I get to climb into my own bed tonight. (after I clean my room a little more)
10. It is almost time that I get to do so! :D

We got home to find out that we had many break-in's while we were gone, but rather then the kind that you normally hear about where people take stuff from the house, this time it was people bringing stuff in and cleaning and working to be blessings.
So thanks to all the "break iners" for all the helpful things you did!
