Visit from Grandma Montelius and G & G Sandi and Paul

Some people dread visits from in-laws, others simply wait them out. I'm actually always excited about Curtis's parents coming to visit. We always have a wonderful time! We had fun relaxing, going to the pool and beach, going to a beautiful wedding reception, to an air and space museum, and going out to dinner. We also had fun playing games and going to church. It was so nice to have extra sets of hands "on hand"; I almost felt like I was on a bit of a vacation myself. Also, Curtis was there to help out during the day while they were in town, which was another set of hands. We also loved having Grandma Montelius with us for a few days; she is amazing! Thank you for everything!

A Colonial Experience

My friend Amanda invited us to a field trip planned by her and her home school group. It was fantastic with an reenactment of a court procedure from colonial times, a speech from Patrick Henry, a mock battle, and weaving. The people in charge where in full character throughout the entire day!

Camping

We camped one night on our own, then our good friends the Nelsons came down the next night. The following night some more good friends came to join us. The kids all played so well together! I didn't get a good picture of all of us.....bummer....
