The Ritchies come to town...

Our good friends from St. Pete came into town this past weekend. We had so much fun together! There were 4 adults and 5 kids staying at our house and it worked out great! The kids loved playing together, and all weekend Drew asked about his "friends." They left at lunch Sunday to head home and when Drew woke up from his nap he asked where his "friends" were.

Here's Syd, Chris, Noah (in front pack), Luke (stroller), and Kayden

Knox (3 months), Drew (2), Luke (2), Kayden (3), and Noah (one week younger than Knox)

If you look closely you can see that Drew and Kayden have a hard time smiling naturally. Luke was awesome at smiling!

BACKYARD FUN

Luke driving the car. Another great smile!

I'm not sure how, but the kids got a great idea for how to use the branches most effectivley. And when I say kids, I mean Kayden and Drew.

Hit the Beagle (AKA Rex) with them.

It's hard to sit on a swing when no one is pushing you.

Luke about to slide....

Never mind...

Do I have to?

Jr. Museum

On Saturday morning we headed to the Jr. Museum to see all of the animals.

Here's our lunch break.

Otters

Drew found the huge alligator. If you enlarge this picture you can probably see it to the left of your screen.


We had a great time with the Ritchies, and can't wait to see them again. We wish you guys were closer!! Thanks for a great visit.
