Jay and Kelley flew in Monday and we were eager to see them. They've seen pictures of our new house, but obviously haven't been here to see it in person so the first thing we did was give them a tour. For the rest of the day, we hung out at the house. I apparently didn't take any pictures:)
Tuesday was supposed to be the nicest day of the week, so we planned on going for a hike. We packed lunches and did the Y Rd to Steward Mountain hike. We stumbled upon this trail several months ago and did a small, very muddy loop; we have been eager to try it again. Our trail this time led us higher up, giving us gorgeous views of Lake Whatcom and the Bay.
Tuesday evening we had Kim, Thane, Kels, and Ben over for dinner. There was some scootering, some eating, and some kickball happening!  |
| They were playing their own game...not quite sure what it was, but they were waiting for Malachi to bring them something! |
Wednesday wasn't predicted to be a very nice weather day, so we planned on sticking around the house and playing games. Grandma taught the girls to play a card game called Garbage (which Lydia calls Trash.) We also played Sequence, Monopoly, Skip-Bo, and Solitaire, to name a few!
Thursday the sun came back out, although it was still a bit chilly and we were able to head outside for another walk. This time we went to Kukutali Preserve.  |

On our drive home, we drove past the tulip fields; we were a bit early and most of them weren't blooming yet. There were a few fields of daffodils still and some pretty impressive flocks of geese!
We also had the chance to go to the garden nursery and pick out a few plants for in front of our house. The previous owner had had a landscaper come out and draw up some plans with recommendations for low maintenance plants; we took that information along with the advice of the guy at the nursery and now we have some plants! It looks a little sparse right now, but I think it will look really nice once things start to grow a little.
We also fit in a few neighborhood walks and some bike-riding. And more games.

Thanks for coming to visit Grandpa and Grandma! We had so much fun and can't wait until the next visit.
