My best friend since high school - Emily - and her husband. Darren, and kids, Abby, Anna, and Ava, and nephew, Landon ... ALL came to visit us a few weeks ago!
We asked Emily and Darren to be Maggie's Godparents, and they agreed.
We were THRILLED to have them come and stay with us.
8 kids between us - it was a blast.
They got in Friday evening, and first thing on Saturday morning we got all the kids up, dressed, and to the Dallas World Aquarium.
It was a bit crowded, and some of the areas get a little "congested," but it was fun.
Kids all loved it!
River Otters were a hit. too bad the lady feeding them was clearly annoyed by the 8 of them hovering in front of her, and kept warning us that raw fish juice might spray on the kids.
Lady, it's about the experience, right?!?
Oh, and screaming things like, "No! Don't talk to me! Don't do that!" really loudly.
How cool is this.
Kids were amazed. And tried to pet it.
Got home and put some of them down for naps.
We left the babies at home and piled in the van to the park in our neighborhood.
Kids ran and enjoyed the weather.
Wish they lived here!!!
Relaxing with a show.
That night I needed to get milk and fill up the van with gas so we didn't have to stop on the way to the church the next morning.
The funny thing is that I took Colin's car.
It's hard to fill up the van when you aren't driving the van.
I even pulled in next to the gas pump before Emily said, "Wait, you need to fill up Colin's car?"
We laughed and laughed.
It was completely typical of our friendship. I feel like the last 15 years have been made of moments like that together.
