Wagstaff Family Visits!

 We had visitors last weekend!  The Wagstaff family came to visit!  Lily was very excited to have her cousin Wyatt come and play!  They had a great time together and got along very well!  Lily was sad to see them leave, as we all were.  We had a great weekend full of lots of fun.
They flew in on Thursday night so Friday morning is when all the fun began.  Friday we headed up North of the City and went to the Hammond's Candy Factory.  We enjoy seeing the candy made by hand and sampling it too!  Lily and Wyatt thought their new hats were pretty cool!






 At the end of the tour came the best surprise of all!  Lily got to pick out her very own lollipop!  This made her very happy! 
After the Candy Factory and lunch, we headed to the Butterfly Pavilion.  We had a great time looking at all the bugs and butterflies. 

 While we were there TJ held Rosie the tarantula!  Not only did daddy do it, but Lily did it too!  She thought it was so much fun that she had to do it a second time before we left!  You are supposed to be 3 before you hold her so that you don't scare her by moving to fast, but Lily had no problem holding still and enjoying the experience!  She surely got that from her dad and not her mom!

 Allie and Nate took turns too!  You can tell just how excited they were about it! 

 Lily's second turn with Rosie!  As you can see mom didn't take a turn!

 The kids also got to touch sea stars!  They thought that was pretty cool!

 Not sure if the kids liked the Butterflies or the swinging on the way out to the car more!  We sure did have a fun day!
Saturday we spent the day at the Children's Museum!  This was a blast!  The kids would have stayed much longer, but the parents were getting tired!  We got there right in time for story time and so we did that first!  Then we played, played, played!


 Planting a garden
 Playing with the trains
 This was a favorite!  This room was all bubbles!  We could have stayed in there for hours!  Plus the kids looked so cute in their lab coats and safety glasses!
 The parents thought this room was awesome too!  TJ would have played for hours all by himself!

 This was where you could stand inside of a bubble! 
Sunday we just relaxed.  Lily and Wyatt had a great time sharing their blanket and a good movie!  They also did a lot of playing in Lily's room!  If anyone comes over, that is the first place she wants to take them!  She loves to share her toys and have friends to play with!
Monday we played at home and then took them to the Airport.  Lily was sad to say goodbye.  She cannot wait for another visitor to come!  Thanks Wagstaff's for coming and spending time with us!  We sure had a great time and look forward to another visit!

You're amazing! I can't believe you have the energy to do all this stuff. We have been wanting to head over to Hammond's and see the candy making. Looks like you guys had a great weekend. See you saturday.
