Weekend Visit

Two weekends ago, we had visitors for the weekend from Utah.  Short Stuff has become a good friend of mine over the years, but was PC's good friend as a teenager.  It was fun to get together and get to know their family better.  I had visited her with the kids this summer, so that helped the kids a lot. They played nonstop all weekend.  It was great.  Their Little Guy was a joy to be with.  Tink and Minnie couldn't get enough of him!  Short Stuff grew up here and spent time showing her family around her old jaunts.  On Friday afternoon, we met up with them at the Air Force Academy.  We went to the visitor's center, the chapel, the fieldhouse, and the cadet gym.  It was a bit chilly and rained on us at the end, but the weather held out for the most part. 

I was recovering from a bad cold, so I wore myself out pretty quickly.  We let them do some sightseeing on Saturday, while we rested at home. On Sunday, we invited another friend over for dinner.  She was one of our good friends in England, (She's the one who took our awesome family pictures over there.) but she also knew Short Stuff from college.  We had figured out the connection a few years ago and since she lives only about a half hour away, we had to all get together.  It was a fun night, as you can see from all these silly faces!  In fact, the whole weekend was great!
