Weekend Wrap-Up

Our weekend got off to an early start.  Keith and Cindy took the kids for a sleepover Thursday evening- they swam at Aunt Chris's pool, had pizza, stayed up late and had a great time! Kent and I walked up to a new restaurant in town- it was a good walk, good food and a wonderful evening.  We wrapped up the night relaxing on our deck and a couple neighbors stopped by to hang out.  Lovely.

Friday I had preschool training all day, so Kent's parents and cousin Kelsey took the kids to the Ledges! It was a beautiful day for it and as far as I can tell, a good time was had by all!

Saturday we started off the morning at Hawkeye Park- we fished, played at the parks and rollerbladed around the pond.  After lunch we headed to Collins for Kylee's birthday celebration with Kent's side of the family.  It never ceases to amaze me how much of the family shows up to these events- I couldn't be happier to belong to such a tight knit group.  Cindy had the pool out for the kids, the adults played bags and sat outside, the kids played glow-in-the-dark hide and seek in the basement and it was so fun.  Cindy had a super cute cake and Kylee loved all of her gifts.  Thanks to everyone for coming! And thanks to Keith and Cindy for hosting!

These two share a birthday- this year Kylee turned 8 and Grandma Doe turned 80! Pretty special birthday twins.

Uncle Kevin is also an August birthday- he and Kaity picked out the cutest shoes for Kylee!

Cousins running for the pool!

This chair is sooo Kylee. 

We spent most of Sunday just hanging around.  Finally in the afternoon Kent took the kids to the pool while I got a few things done.  It was a nice, relaxing day.  Today we're supposed to be heading to Adventureland with Keith, Cindy and the Dunshee girls- I'm so thankful for the quality time we've gotten to spend with them lately.  Hoping the weather holds off today so we can fit another fun day in!
