Once again we headed back to Bryan for a visit. This was a special visit because Ryan's sister Elissa and her family were visiting from Kansas. We also had the pleasure of attending church and seeing our nephews blessed.
The kids and I went on wednesday and then Ryan came after work on Saturday.
Wednesday and Thursday we spent just visiting and relaxing with family. On friday we had the 10 grandchildren at sears portrait studio taking a new picture. They did so well, it was absolutley amazing to see the kids behave so well after waiting an hour after our appointment time to get in the studio. Imagine Madalyn is the oldest (age 4) of the 10 grandkids. The youngest 3 are all about 6 mo. old. When my mother-in-law called to schedule the appointment I think the lady at sears was in shock with amount of children and the age range.
On friday afternoon we decided to take the kids to the park and fly a kite. They had fun taking turns holding the spool.
Saturday the kids and I went to a hockey game that my oldest to nephews, (Mason & Bryson) on my side, were playing in. They lost the game but the boys played fairly well and we enjoy watching them play. Then we had another hockey game a couple hours later b/c Mason also plays on the big boys team (age range 12-17, Mason is the youngest and smallest in this league). Mason scored the winning goal and had a very good game. This was his first time to play up with the big boys. I think he does very well at keeping up with them and holding his own.
Ryan arrived at the ice rink at the end of Mason's game and we headed back to Ryan's parents. Ryan, myself, Sara, Nathan, Elissa, Jonathan, Kelli and her boyfriend Zack went out to eat at Oxford Sreet. Grandma and Grandpa kept the grandkids for the evening. After dinner we enjoyed sometime visiting at Sara & Nathan's house while we ate some cheesecake.
Sunday was another busy day with Michael and Andrew being blessed and then lunch after church with all the family. We had to leave Sunday evening but we had a nice visit with our families. We hope they enjoyed thier visit as well.
