The Texans Come to Town

We were so lucky to have a visit from some of our Texas family.  Leigh Ann, Maxim, Alex, and Sam arrived on Friday, July 20th for a week long stay.  Our week was definitely power packed... Lots of walks, visits to the chickens/garden, a steam train ride... trips to Seattle (Pike's Place) and Olympia (for the LakeFair Carnival)... tons of delicious eats and abundant laughs.  We even got to enjoy watching the Bachelorette Final Rose with Leigh Ann!  And fun times with hula hoops and foxtails... We just wish it never had to end.

We welcomed them with a sweet cherry pie. Marie was skeptical, but it was very tasty.

A visit to a local blueberry farm.

Family laughs.
We had such a great time. Our house was so quiet and lonely after they left... we have so many memories to treasure.  It is just hard to have half of our hearts in Texas.
