A visit from G&G McQuality

The day after my parents left, Matt's parents came to stay with us for 6 days!  We were so lucky to have visitors for almost three weeks straight!  They got to Keegan play baseball, but each of the boys also got rained out while they were here :(.  We still had fun though and are glad they made the trip out.

Day 1:  They arrived early evening. We grilled out for dinner and just played outside.  It rained really quickly and Keegan enjoyed using his umbrella and playing in puddles.

Day 2:  Matt and Rod made some adjustments that I have been wanting in our laundry room for 5 years and I am so, so happy with the results!  Everyone but me went to the Avon pool, we all went out to dinner and stopped by the mall.  When we got home, we filled Rod & Dixie's car with baby stuff for Kinsley (our new sweet little niece).

My new laundry room!  This may seem crazy, but I am so excited about this.  My washer and dryer used to be switched around where the doors opened the same way and it was really inconvenient to switch the laundry.  Also, my washer and dryer used to sit on the floor.  Now, they are elevated with storage underneath and they are switched so I can easily switch the loads. Thanks to my dad for helping me pick out everything and find all the right supplies at Lowe's and thanks to Rod and Matt for adding/installing/moving everything!

Day 3:  Baseball games were cancelled :( We went to see Despicable Me 3 at the movies, Grandma and Papa took the boys home for dinner and Matt and I went out to dinner at Crocker Park, we all met up to play miniature golf.

Miniature golf!  All of us playing (Rod, Matt, myself, Landon & Keegan) got holes in one on all different holes on the course.  It was a fun night!

Day 4:  We went to church, headed to the beach for a fun afternoon, then went to our friends house for a little get together to watch fireworks.

 Our friends had sparklers for all the kids before the fireworks.  They loved them!  Here are a couple cute pictures of Keegan.  Landon didn't leave his basketball game to do a sparkler!

All of us wore red, white and blue to the party!!

Day 5:  Rod, Matt & Landon went golfing, Keeg, Dixie and I went to Target, all of us went to the pool in our development in the afternoon, went to Keegan's game, and went out to dinner.  We saw lots of fireworks from our house that night.

Day 6:  Happy 4th of July!  Rod & Dixie headed home in the morning before we went to our neighborhood bike parade.  Again, we hate saying goodbye when they live so far away.  Thanks for making the trip out and we can't wait to see you in Chicago for the Cardinal/Cubs game at the end of July!!

A visit from G&G Bruce

My parents came out to visit us five days after our friends left.  They came to hang out and watch the boys play some baseball games.  They stayed 6 days and we had a blast!  

Day 1:  They arrived late afternoon.  We went to see Cars 3 at the movie theatre and then went out to celebrate Mom & Dad's 44th wedding anniversary!  Great movie and food.

Day 2:  We went to some garage sales in the neighborhood, watched Landon's baseball game, had lunch, watched Keegan's baseball game, Mom and I did some shopping, and we grilled out at home for dinner.

Day 3:  We drove to Port Clinton, got on a ferry, and headed to Put-in-Bay for the day.  We rented a golf cart to drive around, played miniature golf, ate lunch, went in a cave, explored the Butterfly house, did some rock climbing, explored the island and took the ferry back to our car.  We grilled out at home for dinner.  Here are some pictures from our day!

Day 4:  We ran some errands and went shopping, hung out at home and played with the boys, went to Keegan's baseball game, started a movie (Smurts 2) but didn't finish before bed.

Day 5:  Played at home in the morning, went to see Matt's work and then went out to lunch, Dad practiced baseball with the boys, we went to Landon's baseball game and ate at home.  We finished watching Smurfs 2 and had some buttered cheerios.

We saw a rainbow at Keegan's game and another one when we got home

Day 6:  Mom and Dad had to head home :(  We are always so sad when our visitors leave because when they live 8 hours away, we don't get to see them as often as we would like.  Thanks for making the trip out, Mom and Dad, we had a blast!  Counting down the days until the Lake!!!
