Family Visits

The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind! My sister and her family were here for the last 12 days. We have such a good time together. Especially with the kids. They all get along so well and enjoy each other's company a lot. My sister and I even got to enjoy two girls nights out while she was here. We spent a lot of time at the pool and just hanging out. We did manage to get to the Naval Air Museum, for the 2ND time in 3 weeks. ( I think my kids are pretty much done with that place, and so am I). But it was nice to get to share that with my sister and her family. We saw the movie Walle, it was horrible! Really can't kid movies just be a fun things for kids to watch, instead it turns into some political statement. We did not get to the beach but 3 times while they were here. The Jelly Fish are just really out of control and going in the daytime is miserable when you can't get in the water. So we spent two evenings down there were my sister was determined to build a sandcastle with a working moat around it. I am happy to report that the second time it was a success. It was a little different with Carissa working everyday we did not get to spend much time with her, so most of the pictures will not have Carissa or Matt in them, because he is working all the time also. Christopher, Bryan and Austin did a British Soccer Camp. I think they really enjoyed it and hopefully picked up some new skills they can incorporate into there soccer game. Not much else going on. Getting ready for one more visitor. Matt's Uncle Mike will be coming for a week before the kids go back to school. Speaking of School, I am looking forward to it starting. Not looking forward to all the driving and activities and homework, but looking forward to regular bedtimes, and a true schedule again. I have to say I am not excited to buy all the ridiculous amounts of school supplies that we have to purchase every year. I do believe we have to take out a small loan to get the kids everything they need every year. Well I have rambled on enough. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
