Wisconsin Smiths

We visited with the Smiths this weekend.  It was great to see everyone - except our visit with Leslie was too short. She had a girls' weekend planned way before we decided to visit.  On Friday, Les and I took the kids to an indoor playground.

John John loved the slide. 

John sliding into home... I mean Drake. 

We hung out at home in the afternoons because of everybody's nap times. Drake and Ben were getting sick too. The kids loved playing together. 

 

Drake and Elinor sharing a snack.

I can't remember if it was Friday night or Saturday night that John had another bad night terror.  The whole time he was there he did not sleep well... constantly whining and grunting in his sleep.. up many times in the night and always up early. 

(a lot of bed head in this picture)

Cousins' breakfast in the morning.  Everybody crowded into the kitchen.. 

even both Penny (Newfie) and our Lloyd.  

It was starting to become evident that the Drakester was not well. 

Even sick he is adorable. 

 We had to take turns holding and snuggling with him.  

We toured the Betty Brin Museum on Saturday. The kids outnumbered the adults but Ben was great on keeping track of the twins on the go. 

The weather started getting bad on Sunday.  So we spent Sunday indoors. 

 Elinor and Ben

We had a great trip.  It is so important for the kids to spend time together.  Hopefully next time we visit, everyone will be feeling much better and Aunt Leslie will be there.  

One last picture of Elinor snuggling with Penny.  Lloyd was very protective of the twins if they got too close to the "bear".
