Okay, I know I should have posted about this already by now since it’s been nearly a week since they left… But too bad. 🙂 Part of the TFam came to visit for a week and it was lots of fun! Those in attendance were TMom, Gino, and Jessica. Gino stayed for a few days, just long enough to wrestle with Chase, bond with Chase, build Chase some forts, etc. This uncle and nephew pair was quite cute, actually. Chase enjoyed putting on a show all week and barking like a dog for everyone (he’s obsessed with dogs).
Some highlights of the trip:
- Going to Costco and buying so much food (including chocolate cake!) that it hardly fit in the van with all of us in there (thanks for all the food, Parents!)
- Pulling weeds and planting flowers (thanks for all the flowers, Parents!)
- Going to Sandy to eat at the notorious restaurant The Mayan but finding out it was closed until the following week
- Watching t.v. on our 19″ substitute tv screen
- Shopping at the new and improved Gateway mall!
- Rachel and Joy making a dance video
- Townhouse hunting for TMom/Rachel/Jess–whoever ends up staying there
- Making s’mores and chatting around the backyard firepit
- Gino and Pace brother-in-law bonding via Battlefield 2 and Warcraft 3
- Going to the Aquarium in Sandy that looked like a grocery store on the outside but that ended up being decent on the inside
- Having TMom and Jess babysit so we could go out to dinner and fireworks
- Staying up way too late every night (they’re all a bunch of night owls)
We had a great time and we actually had plenty of room for everyone to sleep! Thank you, family, for all the fun and yard work and for spoiling us! And thank you to whoever cleaned out the microwave!
