Visitors!

Jody's mom and sister made it out last weekend for a quick visit before we take off for Texas! I must say, they were real troopers, driving all this way for a rainy weekend with no plans! They got here late on Friday, just in time to help put kids to bed, and we spent most of Saturday morning getting ready for the boys soccer games -- only to have them canceled due to nasty weather. We finally did make it to one of our towns' few attractions-- double fried egg rolls at the local Chinese place Yummy! Afterwards, Treva had the insane idea of burning off all the extra calories with a rousing game of kickball in the rain! Notice that she is the only adult out there?! The rest of us mostly observed from the front porch, and eventually, the windows. I was going to edit this picture, but I loved seeing crazy Treva running around with all the kids in the rain, my poor trees about bending in half because of our famous "light breezes"! What a trooper!
We finally convinced everyone to come and spent most of the afternoon playing cards and munching on candy. There was one brief moment in the afternoon when the sun thought about shining, so Jody got out the motorcycles. I'll be forever disappointed that I didn't grab the camera in time to get a picture of Jody riding the kids' motorcycle, but I couldn't resist posting this picture of Treva getting her turn. What a goofball!
