My family began arriving the same day that Ryan's mom left. One of the first things we did was make an attempt at seeing Mt. St. Helens. We knew we only had a 50/50 chance, at best but thought it was worth the odds. Of course, as soon as we got to the first visitor's center, we knew we weren't going to see the mountain that day. But we decided to make the best of it and took the kids on a little nature walk. Here are a few pics from that walk...
The next day, some of us went to the temple and silly me forgot to bring a camera! It would have been nice to get a pic in front of it. :S
Later on Saturday, we had some of our extended family who live around here come and have a BBQ with us. First we took a family photo...
Btw, we didn't really plan on having the dog in the pic - he just insisted on it! lol
Yeah - uh, we're dorks.
Other pics from the weekend...
Everyone began leaving to go home on Monday. Those who were still here when to the mall and pretty much just hung out. We wanted to go to the pool but that just didn't happen. We still had fun though. :) The last of the family left on Tuesday morning. And everyone is home safe and sound now. :) Except for Landon - he stays for another week. :)
Of course, everyone came here because of Acadia's 8th b-day and baptism. I think this blog post is long enough for now though, I will post another one about the baptism shortly. For now, Rori just woke up from her nap and that means my time is up! lol
