Friends, Also Known As Family

We were so excited when I got a phone call from Jodi asking if it would be ok if we had some visitors for a while. ummm... yes it's ok!! We love visitors!! 

So, Jodi, Gina, and all 3 of Gina's kids, Dirk, Millie, and Lottie, drove from Michigan to North Carolina for some fun! The last time our kids were all together it was when McKenna was just turning 1, so it's been some time. And even then, they didn't really get much interaction with each other, other then sitting next to each other so we could take pictures of all of them together at Tulip Time. 

We sure had a full house, but it was so much fun!!

The kids didn't waste anytime getting out all the toys and playing

McKenna was in love with Dirk it was the sweetest thing

Just like with all our visitors, we like to show them around! 

First stop had to be at Joe Gibbs Motorsports. They aren't NASCAR fans, but it's still cool seeing everything and since it's only a couple miles down the road from our house, we needed to show them.

Lunch time

We wanted to do something fun, but be out of the heat, so we head to a little aquarium in the mall. Yes, in the mall... haha It was a small aquarium, but we all had lots of fun roaming around. There wasn't a lot of people there since it was a week day, so it was nice to let the kids run around a bit and not having people in your way when you're trying to look at all the fish.

Logan loved this... it took a while before he would leave this area

We were able to do a behind the scenes tour, which was pretty cool and very interesting. Learned somethings that we didn't even know about, but the coolest thing is, we got to look into the big tanks from up above. 

Even Amber got to drive in from Maryland, to join in on the fun. 

It was such a fun time having all the kids together and being able to have some adult conversations with Gina and Jodi! It's always so much fun when we are all together and hope we can all do that again really soon!!
