USA Visit-Day 18

We started our morning out with a dip in the pool and Santa beards in the hot tub.  After we cleaned up, we headed out to do a bit of shopping to tick off more things on our list of things to bring back to Australia.

Then it was off to another get together with our Fenton gang.  What fun we have when we’re all together!

The kids were having so much fun, making up new games and activities (including catching fireflies at night & releasing them in the basement!)

                                     

Our other host, Jon-thanks guys!

Time for group pictures!

We had such a great night and can’t believe how incredibly blessed we are with such amazing friends!

USA Visit-Days 16 & 17

We were excited to have Grandpa coming over for a visit this day.  We all spent some time visiting out on the porch.

                                      

We enjoyed spending time with family, but it was hard saying goodbye to Grandpa-wish he could’ve stayed longer! 

The next day, we packed up our thing to get ready to leave.  Everyone was hard at work that morning while we waited for Daddy to bring back some donuts!

Hallie got REALLY into coloring on this trip and has great fine motor skills….just loves to draw small circles and spirals!

                               

Saying goodbye to family! (My mom’s sister, Sharon and her husband, David & my mom’s brother, John and his wife, Martha)

Quick stop on our way out to visit Grandma

After stopping at Steak ‘N Shake, yet again for lunch, we stopped in Turkeyville for dinner to meet up with my other Grandpa and Aunt Julie.  We had a yummy dinner and then walked around the property for a bit.

                                 

Love this one of Grandpa & I-he’s such a good sport!

Saying goodbye and then back on the road to my parent’s house.
