Special Surprise Visitors

The Manners family stopped by tonight on their way home from Minnesota. O&O were sooo excited!

Some Group Shots

Olivia wanted to hold Baby Elle

And Owen wanted to hug her, but he may have overwhelmed poor Elle

We've been working hard to find indoor activities for these super hot days. And on Saturday's, when Justin is at work, my parents and I usually plan a little adventure. Today, we visited Kidscape at the JoCo Museum. I can't believe we've never been there before. It was fantastic and free! We will definitely be back again.

Olivia loved the stage and musical instruments. Owen loved the cars and trains. And they both loved the tractor and grocery store.

Sorry for some fuzzy pictures. It is so hard to get pictures when O&O are constantly moving!

Baby Elle

We also went down for a quick overnight in Parsons for Elle's baptism.

How adorable is she?

She wore the same dress that Olivia wore at Erica and Luke's wedding 2 years ago.

Elle was perfect. Not as true for the other 3 toddlers, Owen, Olivia and Mickey, who all had to be held through the baptism. Thank goodness we had one set of hands (Luke's!) to actually old little Elle through the whole thing!

I loved this moment. Elle wanted to be held over father's shoulder, but everyone wanted her face in the pictures. So, Father turned around and said he'd stand backwards in all of the pictures. Ha!

And I love Great Grandpa sticking his face around in this one...

The closest we can get to a family picture.

Another Visit to the Trains

We love Union Station. We love that it's free and air conditioned! We went Saturday morning with my whole family (minus the Justins). Plus we love the historical significance. My Dad grew up riding trains and loves every inch of Union Station.
