Visitors!

Nana and Papa brought Aaron and Hannah up for a few days during their Spring Break. Andrew, Kelly, and Logan came up for the first night. Stephen took the adults to our favorite restaurant while I was home with six kids (I volunteered), and they were able to get in to the bistro area for Happy Hour. Andrew said that the food "lived up to the hype" because we had talked about taking everyone there for so long and described how amazing the food is.  Wednesday was the first day with the kids together.  Benjamin went to school while Nana, Papa, Andrew and Kelly headed to a store to explore.  Then I volunteered in Benjamin's classroom and brought him home and the kids played all afternoon together.  On Thursday, we went to local wildlife park for the first time. We had a great time seeing all the animals. The kids had fun afterwords buying geodes and breaking them open. Then on Friday, the day before for they left, we explored the Sound at a state park, gathered shells, and had yummy fish and chips from fabulous restaurant that we ate on the pier.  We had a great visit and wish that it could have been longer.

Emma watching intently

Jacob loved seeing the animals too

Except when the buffalo were a bit too close and then he covered his eyes!

After the tram ride we got out to explore and see the other animals

This was a great-horned owl that we got to see up close and personal
