NY Visitors Bring the Fun!

Aunt Ellie, Uncle Donny, GG and Grandpa came up this past weekend.  We had a great visit and despite the really warm, humid temperatures--we managed to have fun indoors and out.

Dagny and I had a birthday party to attend on Saturday, so the rest of the crew headed to Kimball Farms for some mini-golf, fried seafood, and ice cream.
 Dan reported that Finley was a champion golfer, lasting through all 18 holes without stopping!
 Then, they dined under the big tent and everyone reported a delicious meal that was followed by ice cream.
Dagny and I returned home after the party and she needed a change of clothes since she soaked herself at the water table.  She loves playing with Finley's stuff when he's away!
After her nap, Dagny was happy to pal around with Grandpa despite Dan and I being in the same room.  Unheard of behavior (well, in baby Finley's case) that really flattered Grandpa :)
  We released our butterflies later that afternoon (see previous post).
On Sunday morning, Grandpa read more than his fair share of books.
Donny and Ellie entertained Finley at the frisbee fields while Dan played and after her morning nap, Dagny arrived in time for some Uncle-bonding time.  Love this shot (photo credit: Ellie).
It was sad to say goodbye to everyone but we were so thrilled how much attention both kids gave to their visitors - Dagny jumped into Grandpa's arms repeatedly and Finley invited GG to put him to sleep one night! Ellie and Donny brought Finley a great rocket launcher (nerf-type rocket that flies off when you stomp the air pedal) and Finley loved showing them how he mastered the technique.

We'll see them all again in August when we head their way for a week, bring it on!
