We have had visitors from Ohio here since Friday. Scott's cousin Lisa, her husband David and their 3 children, Jacob (9), Laura and Kasey(4) have all been with us visiting Iowa. Lisa grew up less than 3 miles away from Scott, she grew up at their Grandparents farm. Scott spent a lot of time at that farm when he was little, and a lot of time playing with Lisa. We have had fun trying to show them a little bit of Des Moines culture and the boys have enjoyed just playing. These are the boys "Shisler cousins" as they refer to them. They are really the only cousins on that side our kids know. They don't have any first cousins on that side, so we count these second cousins as it.
Saturday they went to see one of Tommy's baseball games, the boys both had their state tournaments. The rest of the day they just enjoyed being here and playing together. Sunday we went to church and then in the afternoon went down to Union Park to ride the Heritage Carousel and go down the Rocket Slide there, later in the day we turned on the sprinklers and the kids had a great time running around and playing in the backyard. Scott had to leave early this morning to head to Indiana for work and we all went to the pool for a couple of hours. They left later in the afternoon to start the long drive back to Ohio.
All of the kids, but little Max who was napping in his carseat
Jack loving the carousel ride...Tommy not too big for a ride either
Max's first ride on a Carousel...
We hadn't been to this carousel since Jack was born, we went there often with Tommy and Drew when they were little...great memories and now 4 boys
The Weinman family at Union Park
It was fun having family here. The boys LOVE having people come and visit them. It was a real highlight for them.
Thanks Lisa and David for coming all this way to visit...oh and for the yummy Lerch's donuts they brought along with them. mmmm....
