Summer Visitors

June came and we were ready, ready to stop having to get up so early and run around all day. Ready to be lazy cause its summer and that's what we do!  Play and play hard.  First in June we had some visitors come and see us!  Uncle Dan and Aunt Amy came with their three kids.  They have two boys and a girl just like us so we are always excited to get the cousins together.  They have never been to Arkansas before so we wanted to make a good impression.  They drove here from Salt Lake City Utah  so we wanted to make it worth it for them!  We had so much fun, 6 kids in our house with 4 adults lets just say there was a lot of energy in our house.  LOL.  The boys were so happy to just play together, so we took them to a bounce house to run, jump and get some of that energy out.  They had a  blast. 
 
It was hot so of course we took them to the splash park to get cooled off as well. 

 Elizabeth (aka Ellie) wasn't so sure about the water at first so she had to warm up to it.  We found small water spouts that weren't to crazy.....
 Jillian loves the water there, she screams and splashes the whole time we are there.  The boys ran all over the place playing games and get soaked!
 
Andrew Dan and Amy's second son was turning 6 that weekend they stayed with us so we had to celebrate!  We went out to eat where ever he was going to chose, which was Golden Corral.  Good job Andrew, cause everyone loved it and was filled to the brim with food!  Then we had cake and ice cream, and a few presents as well. 
 
 I love this picture of the bag being so huge you can only see his feet!  He is so cute, and excited at this point.
 Genuine happiness on his face, he loves Skylanders.....
 Ellie realizing that she gets cake and ice cream too! 
 We tired to get them all together all 6 kids under the age of 8.  Its the best I could do, but I think its pretty good considering the ages of the girls.  We sure did have a blast.
I can't believe I took so many pictures and none were of Dan and Amy!  Agghhh how did that happen?  So sad, I guess they will just have to come back and hang out again so we can get some of them!  We loved seeing family here in Bentonville, and look forward to seeing them again next summer!
