My in-law’s came to pick the kids up Friday morning to take them down. They had Kylie and Josh and my nephew. My sister-in-law, her daughter and Ryan and I headed down a few hours later.
Once we were all down there the kids went right to their normal play things…Kylie and Carson (my nephew) had their office/school in the back room and Joshie was playing with the little people.
And of course there was the traditional tea party...
John and my brother-in-law came down later that night. It was a packed house but it was fun!
Saturday morning John and the kids and I headed into town to have family pictures done on campus with my family. We had a professional photographer take some pictures with the beautiful leaves as our backdrop. I still have to figure out which ones I want to order :)
That afternoon the kids played outside and I did some work. John's dad took the kids on a bike ride.
Ryan did a lot of this:
John’s other sister and husband came down and we all headed out for dinner for his brother’s birthday. After dinner everyone else left to go back home. John, the kids and I stayed another night so we got to really relax. I took Ryan over to my parents’ house for a little bit because both of my sisters were down and so was my sister’s ex-boyfriend who we are all still really good friends with (including her and I wish they would just stop the “friend” business and get back together!).
Sunday we headed out for breakfast and over to see my parents’. After a few hours there we came back to John’s parents’ house and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather. The kids were outside with my in-laws playing in the woods over the creek (which Joshie kept calling the “cricket”). We all headed up into the woods for a little walk and John showed us all the places he and his friends had played when they were little.

John, Ryan and I headed out later that evening and Kylie and Josh stayed with John’s parents one more night. John and I stopped to eat and it was so weird just having one kid again…we couldn’t remember going out to eat with just Kylie when she was the little!
I picked the kids up the next day and I couldn’t tell who was more worn out…the kids or grandma and grandpa :)
It was a great weekend and I really hope we get to do it again sometime!

Sounds like it was a great time had by all and even if Grandma and Grandpa were wore out, I know it was a "good feeling." I feel that way when Brandi comes with the girls. Wore out but my heart full to the brim.
Love all the pictures, they are awesome. Can't wait to see the professional one you had done, you will post it right???
I'm glad you guys had a good time. I know that relaxation was probably just what you needed. It's nice to spend the weekend with family, especially when you don't live close by.
"Cricket", he he he, too cute!
Alyssa calls the baskets at the grocery store "baskedets".
Man, your kids are 32 shades of cute! Ryan makes my heart melt :)
Sounds like a great time and I'm glad. Time with family is always good :)
