The C family part 1

We are having so much fun with the C family. It has been a great visit. The girls have been playing as if we had never moved away. Here everyone enjoys smores in the backyard campfire. We spent the weekend up at Lala and Grandpa's house while the men ran their marathons. We also had surprised visitors....Nana and Grandpa to support Adam running his first race. The girls also enjoyed the big bathtub.After the race, Jen and I took a canoe for a paddle.

Mike got his personal best time at 3 hours and 17 seconds. He was all smiles and walking pain free after the race.

Adam at the end of his race. He did a great job and finished in 4 hours and 17 seconds. Will be do it again?

It has been so special to see Isabel and Hannah back together again. They have been playing like best friends and have really been enjoying this time together.

Mikey and Jen celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary. Mikey surprised Jen with a lemon poppyseed cake. We had to call several bakeries before we found one who could make their wedding cake. It is really good! Love the frosting.

A day of summer. We spend the afternoon at the local river and the girls had a blast digging in the sand and swimming.
