We’ve been having so much fun having lots of company lately!!

About a week and a half ago, my parents and almost all of my brothers and sisters visited us for an afternoon on their way home from the Feast. Kelvin was a bit overwhelmed by having so many people in his house, but Ava was in her element. She loves being the center of attention and when she’s around my family, she has at least five people focusing on her at any given moment. LOL She was very disappointed when they left that evening without bringing her with them.

Then last Saturday, my grandparents drove down for a visit. Usually when they’re here, Chad and my grandpa work on some sort of home improvement project, but this time we did a “tour of Topeka” instead. We went to visit the capital, the library (which the kids and I visit regularly, but my grandpa had never seen it), and the Great Overland Museum. We also went to the Rees Fruit Farm, took a hayride and picked a “Mama Pumpkin” from the pumpkin patch (Ava named it the Mama Pumpkin because we also got three tiny pumpkins, which are the Baby Pumpkins LOL). The farm was a lot of fun, but we all agreed it would have been even better if they’d had animals for the kids to pet, too (but maybe they didn’t want to buy horse supplies or something).

My grandparents left to go home yesterday afternoon and we were all a little bummed, as usual. On the bright side…Our busy few weeks of having lots of company might be over, but it’s only FOUR weeks until Thanksgiving!! We’re counting down the days!
