A hot summer weekend

We made one last trip to Dinuba before our big move in order to spend some quality time with the family. We arrived Thursday evening and stayed until later in the day on Sunday. Our time was spent at Grandma and Grandpa's house, swimming, walking the dogs and visiting with one another. There were moments of tears and there were moments of laughter.

Friday morning Auntie Penny came over to say hello and get a little one on one time with Anneliese and Haleigh.

Friday afternoon, Momma Joan, Auntie Sarah, Reed and Kieran came over. Kieran and Haleigh had a little laughing fit when they first saw each other...I was outside in the pool with Annaliese. Uncle Jon was able to join us for dinner too.

 These two climbed into the chair and started reading together all by themselves! (Please note the matching socks)

The whole weekend was quite warm...perfect for swimming! Annaliese has been taking swimming lessons, so I was eager for her to get in the pool and practice her skills. She wasn't quite as excited as I was about it! We also brought Haleigh into the pool for her first swimming lesson! Kyle even dunked her...she wasn't so sure about that!

We filled the rest of our time with reading stories, playing with toys, and walking the dogs. 

 Watching the World Cup...looks like we might have a soccer fan on our hands!

 Don't worry...we didn't let Annaliese get too far behind:)

It was fun to see Brodie again. Grandma and Grandpa adopted him a few weeks ago and he appears to be loving his new home!

At one point on Sunday, Annaliese climbed up on Grandma's lap, looked up at her and said, "I'm moving to Washington. I'm going to miss you." I'm not sure how much Annaliese understands about the idea of moving, but she got that one right!
