Blue Grass Country

We are enjoying our visit with Matt and Vikki and their family in Lexington, KY. It took us about 10 hours to get here on Thursday evening! We were so tired! It is so hot and humid. Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the pool soaking up some rays. Today has been mostly inside. Vikki, Kayleigh, Mom and I went over to Hobby Lobby (great store) and while we were gone we had the guys keep the kids. evidently they went over to a little neighborhood park and were there for all of 5 minutes before they all started complaining, "I'm thirsty, I'm gonna die of heat stroke, etc." The kids have been pretty good for the most part. Poor Maggie is homesick. We rarely spend a night away from home. She keeps asking when we are going to go home. here are some pictures of our trip so far:

Alexander hung out by the stairs until he was forced to "swim" a bit with a noodle. He progressed from the steps to swimming with someone with a noodle, to swimming just with a noddle, to swimming without a noodle (which freaked me out a bit, but he did great! Of course, as you can see, the life jacket is still intact)! He had a blast! We had to bribe the kids to get out of the pool! Great job, Alexander!


Uncle Matt got off work around 6p and grabbed the babies up right away. Ryleigh is on the left and Andrew is on the right. They are exactly 2 months apart!

Maggie looks like she is having a great time. I'm sure she will be over the homesickness soon. We will miss you all today at church!
