Visit with the Fam

We went on vacation...sort of.  

At the beginning of July, we headed to Kansas to start a tour of family.  We spent a few days in El Dorado visiting Grandpa and Grandma J.  We even went to Wichita twice on the 4th of July, once to hang out with Candice and Eric and Elliott and once to watch fireworks. 

After a stop in Clay Center to see all our friends at church on Sunday, we headed on to Nebraska to Grandpa and Grandma B's house.  

Grandpa and Grandma B had prepared for our visit with water toys.  It was hot and the ensuing water fight was very fun. Addilyn was getting ready to blast me.

Luckily Grandpa came to my aid.

Grandma got cornered a couple of times and had to get creative to defend herself.  Sploosh!

Grandpa attacks again.

Helping the troops reload.

Ahhhh! It's the boys' turn to attack Momma.

Albert wasn't a fan of being sprayed with water so Daddy entertained him at a safe distance from the bulk of the action.

Addilyn switched gears and started watering the plants.

She may of relapsed and doused Grandpa a time or two. 

 

Asher playing the firemen and filling a pool in the backyard.

Elias decided the fish needed a bit more water.

Jump.

Splash!

Singing and bouncing on the edge of the pool.

The kids had some serious fun in the pool.  I'm amazed at how much they all love the water.  On our last day at G&G B's, Elias took to jumping into the water headfirst.

He loved it (and luckily survived his many attempts).

We even got to visit my Grandma Audrey on this trip (although we didn't get any pictures).  And we got to drive through some incredible storms.  Yay for a roadtrip!
