Visit from the Day's

Nate's sister, Nicole, came to visit with her family during their spring break a few weeks ago. Thankfully we had awesome weather that week. The week before and after were cold or rainy and both on a few days, but the entire week they were here it was high 70s low 80s and not a rain cloud in sight.

It was so good to see Keenan, Shailyn and Brenna. It had been nearly 2 years since we had last visited with them. All of them have grown up so much. Rylan and Austin warmed up to their big cousins within moments of their arrival. I was actually very surprised how quickly they all clicked. It was great to see them all playing so well together.

While they were here, we spent a lot of time outside fishing, playing in the paddle boat, water and swing set. We went to Monkey Joe's, the zoo and aquarium too. Everyone and a lot of fun and we look forward to our next visit with them in June.

Petting the sting rays and sharks. I finally braved it and touched both. Hard to not do it when your 5 year old tells you to be brave like him.
