A week of visitors

We have had a LOT of company this week. Tuesday evening Lisa and Michael stopped by on their way back from Ohio. They stayed with us until lunchtime on Thursday. Seth is trying his darnest to say the word "shirt", but all he gets out is the "SH" (I know it could be worse.). For some reason, he was fascinated with Michael's shirts. Wednesday Jake spent the afternoon with us, and Seth had so much fun hanging out with a big boy. We went to the playgrounds at Tanglewood. Afterwards, Seth and I tried out a different Mexican restaurant with Lisa and Michael. Mango margaritas? Not so good. Food? Excellent! And Seth stayed in his booster the whole time! By far the best he's been at a restaurant in over a year! Thursday Alden and Landon spent the morning with us. Which brings me to our weekend...

Marie and Eric went on a kid-free trip to Asheville, and Evan and Ryan came to spend the weekend with us. The boys had so much fun! Friday morning Marie and I took the boys to the Children's Museum. As you can see, the donut factory was a big hit! Nathan and I tried to take the boys to the pool Friday afternoon, but thunder caused the pool to be shut down after we'd been there for about 15 minutes. Ryan was missing his mom, so I was having a hard time convincing him to go in the water anyways. The storm that passed over us brought in cooler temperatures, so we went for a short walk with the boys that evening. Evan had brought his bike, so he rode that while the little guys hitched a ride in the garden cart. Saturday we had a NICU playdate at Dan Nicholas Park in Salisbury. Seth's buddies were there, but since it is a very large park, we only saw them while we had our lunch cookout. The park had a huge playground, a train, a wilderness park, gem mining, and a sprinkler area, all which were a big hit. Evan played a round of mini golf with Nathan. There was also a carousel there, but none of the boys expressed interest in riding that. Seth and Evan were pooped, but Ryan did not want to leave! All three boys fell asleep on the 45 minute ride home.

Sunday morning was 100% crazy boytime in the playroom. It is so funny to watch what these guys think up to do. We went on another short walk to kill time awaiting Marie and Eric's arrival. The boys were very excited to see their parents and got good report cards. Looking forward to doing it again sometime!
