Weekend Fun!

My sister Cari called me on Friday morning to catch up. At the end of the conversation, we went through our usual speil...something to the effect, "You need to come visit me..." "No, you need to come visit me..." "I would, but..." "I understand, I would too, but..."...blah blah blah. And then we said our goodbyes. It was the usual thing, only this time she called me back a few minutes later and said "I'm gonna come see you this weekend!". How spontaneous is that??? I love spontaneous people (because I'm not good at being spontaneous so I try hard to work on that because it makes life so much funner!). I was so pumped!!!
So, my amazing sister loaded up four of her five kids (just the girls) and made her way to Vernal. That is pretty brave of her considering she had to drive 3 1/2 hours with her twins who are only 10 1/2 months old. It was a short and sweet visit, but I loved every minute of it. My kids loved visiting with their cousins and I loved seeing them and visiting with Cari. We had fun talking and baking a very naughty treat at 11:00 at night! We put on a movie, but talked right through the whole thing. We went to bed late and poor Cari had to deal with crying babies through-out the night. We went to lunch the next day and took the kids to the park to eat before they had to get back home for Kaden's scouting activity. We are so glad they came to visit and my kids are still talking about it! Thanks for the fun weekend Cari!

Go Cari!! Very brave! It looks like you guys had a GREAT weekend. We need to be spontaneous one of these days and make it up your way, Cherish! We really do want to visit Vernal. And of course we would always welcome you to come to Cedar if you're feeling spontaneous. ;) I hope things are going well!
