Cousin Addy came to visit

Steve, Sarah and Addison came to visit us the weekend of June 19 and 20th. Addison immediately fell in love with BW. She was not very fond of Brody though. She kept saying "That cat tried to attack me." Jeff and Steve went golfing Saturday morning and Sarah and I tried to take the kids to the pool. We went to the pool and it was 90 degrees and sunny. After we were there about an hour the sky turned black and the lifeguard said a storm was rolling in with 70 mile per hour wind and possible hail. By the time we got everything picked up and the kids loaded back in the car, it started raining.

That afternoon we went to Paradise Park in Lees Summit. The kids had a great time doing arts and crafts, face painting, playing in a pretend grocery store, climbing on jungle gyms and playing in sand. Addison went to the "big kid" side and got to ride go carts with her daddy. While she was doing that Owen enjoyed playing in a ball pit. What could a toddler like more that hundreds of balls? Owen also really enjoyed playing in the sand. He loves to dig, and tries to do it at home in the dirt and mulch, but I won't let him dig up our landscaping. Every time he dug a scoop of sand he would look at Jeff with a face that said "Am I in trouble for doing this?" I am so excited to take him to Florida this fall and let him dig in sand all day long!

After Paradise Park we headed downtown to go to a Mexican restaurant. By that time both kids were looking like they were ready for bed. Owen ate more than I have ever seen him eat! He ate chips and salsa, half of his cheese quesadilla, rice and beans! I think he ate more than me! A little food in his belly really changed his attitude. When we got home him and Addy jumped around on the airo bed singing "2 little monkey jumping on a bed..." Thankfully neither of the monkeys actually bumped their heads! I think Owen fell asleep the second his head hit the mattress.

Sunday was Father's Day so we went out to brunch. After brunch Stevie, Sarah and Addison had to head back to St. Louis. We had lots of fun and can't wait to hang out with them again!
