Visit to Lorie's

I know this is a week late, but better late than never!  We went to Lorie's last Wednesday-Friday and had a GREAT time!  (I have had a bad headache since Saturday so that is why I haven't already done this.)  We got there about lunch on Wednesday and just visited most of the afternoon.  The kids swam a little and played in the playroom.  The kids played really well together.  Ethan and Cari Ann liked the same things and Jack and Collins really enjoyed playing together.  Olivia and Ava had fun playing, too.  Even though there is 8 months between them, they are almost the same size.  Here are a few pictures from the trip.

On Thursday, we went to Spring Park.  It is a little park right up the street from Lorie's house.  They have a splash pad, carousel, train, and kiddie roller coaster.  The kids had a blast!  Here they are on the train.  I would have gotten on of Olivia and Ava, but they were both sound asleep!
This is Jack and Collins at the splash pad.  Aren't they just the cutest things you have ever seen???
This is Ethan and Cari Ann on the roller coaster.  It wasn't very big, but it went pretty fast.  These two loved it!  Jack and Collins only made part of trip.  They wanted to ride on the front and I guess it was a little too scary.

When we first got there, Jack kept trying to take a picture of Collins and she would hide.  After just a little while, they had warmed up to each other and I got several of them together.
This is all the kids--Jack, Ethan, Olivia (notice her on the phone!), Collins, Ava, & Cari Ann.  You can really tell who belongs together!

Not long after we got there, Olivia figured out how to crawl into the toy cabinet.  Lorie said that Ava had never done that before, but she thought it was a great idea!

Here are the kids with Jeff--he is the cute one in the middle :)  Wednesday night, he went outside and tapped on the window and scared the kids half to death!  Then Thursday, he put on this mask and banged on the bedroom door and scared them even more!  They LOVED it!  They were SO funny!

As you can tell, we had a wonderful time.  Thanks, Lorie, for opening your home to my wild bunch!
