Guess Who's Here?

Can you guess from this picture of Kenley's who came to visit last week? My mom!!!!!! She obviously wanted to come up to see her grandbabies, but she also has her parents and all five of her siblings here, so there's lots going on up here! She gets to be up here for almost three weeks, so you'll be seeing more of our adventures, but here's what we've been doing so far!

Our first big adventure was going up to a delicious Cajun restaurant in Girdwood called Double Muskey. We had delicious steak, shrimp, jalepeno cheese rolls, and Double Muskey Pie.

Me, Marci (Sister #4), and my mom (Sister #1)
Michelle (Sister #3), Kay (Sister #2), and my grandma

While there, we took a slew of self-portraits, which I'm sure was not at all obnoxious.

Then we had a Girls' Weekend up at the lake with my grandma, my mom and her three sisters, me, Kenley, and Madeline.

We sat out on the dock and read books and trashy magazines.... (psst - I read TWO books on Saturday - that is my idea of a perfect vacation!)

We also took a few rides out on the raft.
The girls were so good. They played together the whole time, leaving lots of time for the rest of us to relax, eat, and enjoy some adult conversation. It was an awesome weekend!

WOW! That is just so cool. You just needed Andrea there to make it all that more perfect. :) I'm sure she was sad to miss out on all that girl fun.
What two books?

I don't know if I have ever been more jealous of a vacation in my life. Girl time, trashy magazines, books and hanging out by a lake, I seriously want to cry a little that I have never had a weekend like that. I bet it is wonderful having your mom there!

I miss you Katie Lyn! Every time we've gone to the pool this summer I've had a slight (okay more than slight) twinge of sadness that I'll never lounge in the sun and read a book again. Okay never might be a little dramatic, but it's such a delicious way to spend a day!
