Christian's sister and her family, the Mohrs, came to visit us for 5 days. We greatly enjoyed their company and a change of pace from the normal hum-drum busy days with school and sports. We love having company and our house is always bustling in anticipation of their arrival. The kids must have opened the front door 10 or more times in the final hour before they came, just hoping they had arrived early.
We went to Legoland for two days with them. Legoland was moderately crowded, but they have added so many new attractions, it spreads everyone out pretty well, so the lines weren't too long. We had a leisurely and enjoyable day together. Our kids enjoyed missing 2 whole days of school. No perfect attendance awards for our family.
Our visitors also enjoyed a full day at Seaworld. They enjoyed that the most, apparently. The cousins also came swimming with us at our community pool. We brought just about every blow-up pool toy we had (I only go through that much trouble for visitors).
We had a scorcher of a weekend when they arrived. It was in the high 80s and low 90s, but it cooled off to the 70s by the end of the week. They live in American Fork, Utah and said they had just come from 3 snow storms the previous week. This was a nice change for them.
The Mohrs treated us to dinner at Chic-fil-et. I know that portion sizes are large at most restaurants, but this is ridiculous. This was a medium order of nuggets. It fed both our families and then some.
Okay, I am just kidding. We ordered a medium party platter. 120 nuggets didn't last long, though. They are delicious!
On our second day at Legoland, the kids all decided to bury Orrin in the sand at the Dino Dig site. It was a fitting end to a fabulous vacation for their family. Heck, we felt like we were on vacation when we hung out with them.
This was the Wildlife Conservation Belt Loop.
This was a game for the Language and Culture belt loop.
Even Aleya wanted to touch the snakes!
