Our Visit to The Mr. and Chatty's

We arrived on Thursday night late, so Friday was a relaxing morning where we got to sleep in as long as the boys let us, which was at least 9 something.

Good morning Leroy!

Here's Phi observing Petra though the glass door.

A Great Blue Heron that made his appearance in the pond out side the back yard.

As the morning wore on Phi began teasing Petra through the window with toys, naughty little man.

The morning Ba'ba'. He holds his own which is good and bad. Good for Mommy, but bad cause I don't hold him as much when I think I'm busy.

Leroy meeting Petra, he likes dogs and animals in general much more than his big brother.

It was a beautiful day, so after a delicious breakfast we left the guys to decide what to do with their day while we took a walk to the beach. This is only a 5 minute walk out the back door, very neat!

Chatty and Petra at the beach.

And Petra all by herself.

By the time we got back the guys had decided on racket ball and Disc golf and headed out to play. Chatty had received a new embossing set for her birthday (which was that weekend and I didn't even know it until that morning) which she generously shared. Once the kiddos went down for their naps we had a great time making cards which I failed to get pictures of. Embossing is a lot of fun, with the right tools and technique it makes a very cool looking card.
That night Drooler's family, the little Nuggets, and Dolly,PC and Emma's families came over for a delicious supper and games, X box and otherwise. That's how the following picture was captured.
Four guys on one small couch, enjoying themselves too!!

It kept some of the kids busy for a while too.

It was another fun, late night, bed time for the girls and kids some time around 12:00 or 1:00, while we cannot say the time the guys finally called it a night. Oh the competition!!

I was going to make this all one post, but Saturday we went to some beautiful gardens that I don't remember the name of, though I'm sure Chatty will and I have too many lovely pictures of the amazing flowers they had there. So hopefully soon we'll continue our narrative.
