the last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity

I think I threw an entire summer into two weeks or at least it feels that way. Like I said my sisters in town and each year we just pack it all in since we only see her once a year. Each day there has been some activity or at least a reason for the kids to get together and play.

here are some of the things we've done:
parks
swimming
shopping
eating
children's museum
movie
lagoon
library
butterfly release
dairy tour
zoo
walks
games games games
bowling
celebrated birthdays










Honestly I feel completely worn out. I feel like I really haven't seen my kids/husband that much eventhough we've been together. I feel like I'm ready for life to get back to normal, but I'm sad to see it come to an end. Really sad to see the cousins leave and my family split apart again. It has really been a good couple of weeks. I'm grateful to be able to spend so much time with my sister and brother. Both of which I don't see nearly enough. I'm grateful I was able to get to know Amy better and love that we have similar interests. I'm grateful the kids get along so well and love playing together. I'm grateful my parents make it all possible and put up with the craziness of all of us being around. I love it when my sister visits. Always look forward to this mini vacation. I will miss it when Monday comes.

I love the photo montage! It sounds like you have not had time to stop. I love when my sister comes in town and always feel like it was never enough time. Glad she got to stay so long and you two could really reconnect.

I too love the photo montage. Sounds like you guys had a great time. I always get sad when my family leaves, but I guess it is good in a way to get back to normal life...

Thanks for the photos, Ames. I especially loved the one of Tess (?) and Alan walking together and the one of Megan walking. Now maybe they can come and stay over at MY house!

It seems like you guys have been Missing In Action forever. It's nice you get to do all those fun things when your sister comes into town, but it's a little sad to have you guys so out of reach too. I'm sure the cousins had so much fun together, that's priceless. I hope you can recover this week.
