Special Visits

We have had a very eventful summer with friends and family coming to visit us, and our making a trip to Iowa as well!  And we have loved every second of it!  Here's some picture highlights from our special visits this summer.

In June, Mom came to visit us for a long weekend, and we took a trip up to Bay Beach!

We took a bunch of pictures right after we got out of the car and before we headed into the amusement park.  The pictures are hilarious to look at because Serena was just bubbling over with excitement!




For the Fourth of July weekend, we got to have a visit from Luke and Lulu!  We all loved it!


Later in July, the kids and I drove down to Iowa for a few days.  It's always so much fun for the cousins to get together!

Trying to get a decent picture of all the little kids!  Let's see, there's eight kids between the ages of 1 and 6!
The girls.  I haven't seen any of my aunts/uncles/cousins for such a long time, so it was wonderful that my Uncle Bruce, my Uncle Tim and Aunt Carla, and my cousin Christa and her two little ones drove out for an evening while we were at Mom's! 
The kids had a blast playing with the Kromminga cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's!

I really love these!
 Auntie Anna and Grandma came up for a visit the week of Serena's birthday.  They made it an extra-special week!  Plus, we just love being with them!

Uncle Luke came out for another visit at the beginning of August.  The kids sure do love their Uncle Luke, though I couldn't get a decent picture of them all together!  ;P  We also had Ross, a college friend, visit us the same weekend.  We all thoroughly enjoyed that weekend!
