Week 38: Kent's Family Visits

Roger and Mary came to spend about 10 days with us.  Their visit during this time of year was extra special as Roger and Kent have the same birthday so were able to celebrate together on the 16th!  Of course Grandpa and Grandma were excited to see Erik as he had changed quite a bit from their visit at Christmas.  They were able to spend the week taking care of him and playing with him while relaxing and doing various things around the house.  We appreciated having them there to visit with us, help us cook food and do some projects!

Also during this time, Natalie and her fiancé Casey flew in from MT.  Natalie had not seen Erik yet so was fun to see her get to spend time with him.  We had also not met Casey yet so were very happy they could both come to see us before their wedding, which is July 28.  We enjoyed getting to know Casey and was nice to have Kent's family all together for this time.

During the time Natalie and Casey were here we spent time in the pool and made a trip to the beach, which was Erik's first time at the Ocean.  We visited with the Reinke family while at the beach and enjoyed catching up with them.

Kent also bought his riding lawn tractor during this week which he had been greatly anticipating.  The timing was good since the push mower wheels stopped turning.  Guess we got our money's worth out of that mower.  Still runs well after 12 years, but if you can't move the mower, its difficult to cut the grass!!  We'll have to see if Erik likes riding on the lawn tractor or not!

It was so nice of the family to fly down here to visit us and we look forward to having them back soon! See you in July!
