More summer fun!

Last weekend we headed to Visalia and Grandpa and Grandma Gillette's house for a hot, fun-filled weekend. We got there fairly early on Friday and Annaliese wanted to swim right away. It's been awhile since Daddy has seen her swim, so she was able to show off all her skills!

She then flips back over and swims the rest of the way.

After getting out of the water, Annaliese and Grandma said hello to the puppies and then came inside. Auntie Sarah, Uncle Jon, and Reed came over for dinner and Annaliese and Reed were able to have some play time together.

On Saturday, we celebrated Melissa's bridal shower; we all went over to Auntie Sarah's house early so that she and Grandma could get things set up at the country club where they were hosting the shower. Mama Joan, Kyle and I had some time to play with the munchkins before Mama Joan and I joined them for the party. Kyle was on babysitting duty and seemed to handle two kiddos just fine!

 Snack time!

 Lunch time...thanks for sharing your chair Reed!

And here are just a few shots of Annaliese looking cute:)

After Melissa's shower, we left Grandma and Grandpa's house and went down to Visalia to my friends, John and Alecia's house. They just came home from a trip to Michigan, but were still gracious enough to let us come for dinner and spend the night. We haven't seen them in awhile, and it was so good to catch up! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures with them.

Knowing that we would be heading home, which meant 2 1/2 hours in the car, before we left John and Alecia's house we took a quick walk to the local park for a little playtime!

Thank you to everyone for a wonderful weekend! It is always so good to get over to the valley to see our friends and family!
