Weekend Visits

On the same weekend, Uncle Jay, Aunt Elizabeth and girls came to visit while Karl and Annika drove to Columbus.  They overlapped in St. Louis for one night. 

All 6 girls loved "sleeping" in the same room.  

 The 3 year olds chatted it up as they enjoyed pedicures. . .

 It was a cold and rainy day but we knew the ducks would be hungry. . .  

 Quiet time - a.k.a. Dora time

 A trip to the Magic House. . .painting, 

 zhu zhu pet racing, 

 baby nurturing, 

 snack time, 

 and giant bubbles!  

 A trip to the zoo. . .carousel ride, 

 sea lion sound,

 and rock climbing.

 By the third day, quiet time consisted of sleeping bags and a couple of kiddos actually falling asleep.

 pumpkin patch, 

and birdhouse construction.  

 Karl and Annika made a visit to Columbus while I stayed home with Jay, Elizabeth and family.  Grandma and Grandpa took Annika to a festival complete with zip lines and go karts.
