Summer Vacation


Our brother-in-law, Devin, came for a visit with his 3 daughters; Ashley (and her husband Chad), Megan, and Maddie. They picked up our neice Candice at the airport. They stayed for a week so we had some serious fun. I love it when people come visit us because it is like we get to go on vacation but without leaving our own beds.
A rundown of the visit; Friday- Matt, Devin, Chad, and Megan went for a hike up a mountain and fished and came back very tired. I had prepared food and forced everyone (of course by everyone, you know I mean Matt) to be festive and fun when they got back even though it was dark and they were exhausted. We had a "southern boil" ; potatoes, sausage, spicy vegies, corn, and shrimp all get thrown in a pot to boil. When it's done it gets spread on the table (covered in paper) and everybody eats with their hands and has a grand time. The clean up is a breeze. While they were hiking we (Ashley, Candice, and kids) went down to the river and also went to the water park later that day.
