Michelle's visit

It has been really nice having Michelle, Fred and the kids here to visit. All the kids really seemed to love the Lego's. As Duane would say it was liked the beaches of Normandy in Legos. I am still finding them everywhere. They were each building their own things out of all the ones we have. And Devin even got out all his Legos from all his Star Wars Legos sets. Quite a mess

I also finished Devins knitted turtle. I

only had to start him twice. The first time I made an error reading the pattern and had to tink back. But before I could get started again little Isaac decided that my purple knitting needles looked so neat that he had to have one. Unfortunately he wanted the one with the knitting on it and decided it did not need that yarn on it. Oh well. Try, try again. I do think he turned out very cute. I had seen another version with a smaller head on Ravelry but I need to find the smaller head pattern. The pattern is Tiny Turtle, by Raynor Gellatly.

Michelle brought ice cream and root beer and made root beer floats for all the children.

They were a big hit. Especially in the huge glasses we used. Rachael was the big helper on that one and afterwords they all went back outside to run off all that sugar. I now have two huge holes in the back yard. Once I talk Duane into getting me a cherry tree it will have a nice home just waiting for it. I think the other hole was just a trial hole. Although it is about 3 feet deep it is only about a foot wide. Deanna likes to hide in it. Lets see, what else. I just uploaded my photos from the visit and so am now blogging and looking at the photos.

I tried to get everyone together for a group shot

it did not work out very well. Isaac was not in the

mood as he apparently was in need of a diaper

Anyway, they packed up the car and van yesterday morning and off they went. Hopefully to have a safe trip. As of 9:30 this morning they were on the road and still in Arizona. Hopefully they will be in Texas tonight and then on to their destination tomorrow. And speaking as one who knows it is a very long drive.
