Uncle Jeff and Aunt Marci Visit

We were lucky enough to have TJ's sister Marci and her husband Jeff come visit us for a long weekend!  They drove from Oklahoma on Thursday getting in after the kids went to bed.  TJ was still out of town so on Friday we partied without him.  In the morning Lily was super excited they were here!  She immediately wanted to play every toy she had with them!  When I asked her what she wanted to do with them she responded with , just play.  Then I said where is somewhere you would like to go with them.  She quickly said, "YoCraze."  I told her we had to wait for Daddy to go there.  So we decided upon the Butterfly Pavilion.  So we made a stop on the way at Cafe Rio for lunch and then headed to the Butterfly Pavilion.  We had a great time playing and seeing all the creepy and pretty things they had!


 Checking out all the crawling critters with Aunt Marc

 I AM SO PROUD OF MY THREE YEAR OLD!!!!!  So she came up to me and said she wanted to hold Rosy.  I was really nervous because I didn't want to do it with her and TJ wasn't there to do it.  I asked Jeff and Marci if they would do it with her.  Both were just as nervous to do it as I was.  Well, my brave little three year old did it all by herself and LOVED every minute of it!  She was so excited that she got to hold Rosy,  "Because Rosy is a nice tarantula and doesn't hurt you!"  So yes, the THREE year old was the ONLY one to hold Rosy! 

 Trying to get a butterfly to land on her





 Aunt Marc scored MAJOR points with Lily as she got a butterfly to land on Lily!  Lily was so extremely happy in that moment! 

 She even showed her brother while keeping the butterfly a safe distance away from destruction!









 When we got home, Lily and Logan enjoyed some more play time with Jeff and Marci.  They were both so happy to have new playmates! 
 Friday night after the kids went to bed, TJ got home from being gone for a week.  Friday night was spent watching some March Madness and visiting.  Then Saturday morning, I had a baby shower for a dear friend and so the rest of the crew headed to one of our new FAVORITE parks to play and have a picnic.  As you can tell they had a great time playing!

















 After the park, they headed over to the bowling alley and played some arcade games until I met them for some bowling! 

 After we were done bowling, I think Jeff schooled us!, we headed to show our guests the ROYAL TREATMENT!  You guessed it, YoCRAZE!  We all enjoyed A LOT of frozen yogurt goodness!  Then we headed home for some beef tenderloin on the grill, DELICIOUS!!!!!!!  After dinner and putting the kids to bed, we played some games and had a great last night with Marci and Jeff!

Sunday morning was a little rough for Lily.  She told me before our guests left that, "Marci and Jeff should stay with us forever!"  She really had a great time with them, as did we, and was very sad to see them leave.  We sure did have a great weekend with them!  Thanks for coming to visit!  We welcome you any time you want to come!  Or anyone else that wants to visit!
