Visitors

Last Thursday my mom, grandma and aunt came to visit! We packed a lot into a few days.

Thursday evening we met some long time friends of the family who just happened to be staying at Mac's Landing Resort which is only about a mile from our house! The kids got to swim, we had a good cook out and visit.

Friday morning we ran errands, ate lunch and packed up for the afternoon to go to the beach near Empire. It was a perfect beach day, hot but a nice breeze off the water. On the way home we stopped at Grocer's Daughter Chocolate because really, when you are right there how can you just drive by?

Mom and Teri and I went back into town that evening for Friday Night live and some window shopping.

Ben got stuck heading down state for work that night and was gone until Saturday evening.

Saturday morning we went to the farm market fairly early. They had to head back to WI from there but the kids and I took a walk down Cass St. through the art fair. Alex really liked the variety of pottery and had a nice talk with one of the pottery artists about his work and how he makes the colors in his glaze.

We came home from a quick lunch and played with Charlie before going to Peshwabestown for the Pow Wow. We saw the grand entrance and watched for a little longer then things started to fall apart a bit with the kids so we had to make an earlier exit than planned. Next year I think either we all have to go so there is one grown up for each kid (when they both need/want to do different things) or one of us should just take Alex and wait a few more years for Maya (she lost interest more easily).
