We arrived just before her oldest 4 got home from school. Once they arrived that was the last we saw of Jake and Coop. They had disappeared upstairs with the boys and were checking out their turtle. I grabbed that sweet baby girl the first chance I got and never wanted to put her down. She is such and easy, peaceful baby. Even her angry cry is tiny and cute.
Erin had made some fun plans for us to go to the corn maize near their house, but unfortunately had read the business hours wrong and they had closed moments before we go there. So, we went home, made dinner and enjoyed one another's company instead. Tuesday we made it up to the youngest kids by taking them to a place in the mall that had a bunch of the inflatable bounce houses and slides. On our way in, we stopped to figure out just exactly where in the mall this place was and found that Jake and Faryn had gotten inside a hurricane simulator and Jason decided to pay the dollar to turn it on. It was pretty entertaining, and we had to do it a second time so Coop could try it out too.
After a couple of hours at the bounce house place, we took the kids for a treat at DQ before going back to Erin's house.
We always have a ton of laughs and great conversation. I only wish that we would have got to see more of Michael, but his work schedule is tough right now. Also, I hope to be able to spend more time with them on our next visit. They are such wonderful hosts, Jake loves that house full of big boys, Coop loved having Faryn around since they are so close in age, and I'll never get enough time with Tessaleigh.
We spent Wesnesday and Thursday making the long drive back home. The boys are really wonderful travelers, but we were all excited to get back home.
