6 days, 5 kids, 4 adults, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms = 1 great time!

We had such a good visit with Tyler's mom, sister and three of her kiddos this past week! There are 488 pictures compiled from all the cameras to prove it, and it was slightly challenging to choose which to post.
So here's the highlight reel!
Group shot on last night
From left to right: Kianna, Nana, Aunt Amanda, Caleb, us, Cassia and her American Girl

Nana and Ben playing an in-depth game of cars, complete with train derailments, ambulances and lots of sound effects.

Uncle Adam couldn't make the trip, but as Ben's "sports uncle", he sent down a cool air hockey table for Ben that we all enjoyed!

"Ant Ahmannnn" might have five kids of her own, but she always goes out of her way to make mine feel special. And she definitely has a fan in Ben!
I can't begin to explain how helpful, patient, fun, kind and caring the cousins were with Ben. From changing his pj's at night and singing lullabies to running countless laps around the house as Ben yelled "Chase me!", they each left big shoes for me to fill in their absence. :)
The Prentice family doesn't sit still for long, and we got to do lots of fun things during their stay.

We had dinner at Tony's and walked around the Bluff View Art District,

explored the aquarium,
celebrated all the birthdays we miss throughout the year,
played at a number of parks,
rode the carousel,
and caught fish, crawdads, and even a copperhead snake at the Hiawassee!
...and Katie Beth caught some zzz's
And oh how everyone loved on Katie Beth.
If it weren't for feedings, I'd never have seen the girl!
Such a wonderful visit. But we sure missed these two cuties, Cadence and Kalyssa! (and Papa and Uncle Adam too)
Thanks so so much for making the time and considerable effort to come visit, you guys. See you all on Skype soon!
xoxo
