We just had a fun weekend with Amy's family, who stayed with us while they did the family reunion rounds in Emmett. Kennedy was in heaven having her best friend here, and once again I wish I had a transporter machine so that Kennedy & Emily could play together more often!
Amy & Michael arrived Friday and we had a good time just hanging out in the backyard and having a barbeque. It didn't take long for Kennedy and Emily to find the freshly tilled dirt in the garden....add a little water and voila! 
Saturday Amy's clan headed to Emmett for family reuinion festivities. I did the Bob LeBow Bike Tour again this year, but only the 10 mile ride this time (let's just say I'm not in the shape I was last year!) instead of the 36-miler. It was a beautiful ride out to Lake Lowell and back, with a fun BBQ lunch afterward. Kennedy was cute, cheering me on and telling me I did a great job. Actually, when I saw her right after I finished, she said, "you won, right mom?" I look forward to the day when she'll be doing these rides with me. After the bike ride we went to the Nampa airport for their "Thunder over Nampa" air show. We only watched a couple planes, but it was a lot of fun.
We all came home and had a nap, then headed out to Emmett to watch their Cherry Days Parade with Amy's family. The kids had a blast catching candy and just being together. Parades and festivals are some of my favorite things about summer.

After the parade we headed over to Michael's family's farm for their BBQ dinner. They actually BBQ'd an entire pig in a big barrell. They are a really nice family and welcomed us warmly. Kennedy and Emily had fun walking around the farm to see all the animals.

Best friends.

Sunday the kids just played and played. Jessica had us do the erupting volcano trick she did at home with Amy, and all the kids loved that.

Well if you visitors wouldn't have kept you up late two nights in a row then 9:21 wouldn't be way past bed time. Thanks again for letting us crash at your house. The girls would like to fly next time so it's "quicker and we can go more since it's quick"
