Another Special Visit - Rob and Kristen

A few weeks back we got another special visit! Rob, Kristen and their little boy Jaxen were officially our first out of town visitors that came to stay with us. And it was perfect timing cause it was over the 4th of July! It was so awesome to have time with familiar faces that we miss oh so much.

The 4th of July was a busy busy day! We started the day out at the park where the kids ran around on the playground, the boys played baseball and the pregnant momma's sat in the shade and watched. Kristen and I have due dates that are exactly 3 months apart.

 

 

After the park we headed back to the house so the kids could cool off in the pool, jump on the tramp and we could have a BBQ. We also had Steve, Courtney and their kids coming over to say hi for a bit!

That evening I really wanted to go see fireworks, but by about 7:30PM we were all exhausted from being out in the heat all day and ended up just staying in and relaxing.

Friday both Dewey and I had to work, which was a HUGE bummer. Rob and Kristen had plans to take Jaxen to see a few dinosaur exhibits while we were working and they were awesome enough to take Khloe with! She apparently loved it, as she continues to take about the dinosaurs. Thank you Rob and Kristen!

Saturday the husbands went with Steve to buy a new truck and Kristen and I took the kids to lunch and then to the Denver Aquarium. Jaxen loved every second and kept running from one exhibit to the next. Khloe was a bit slower and loved taking her time to look at the fish. At one point Kristen told the kids about the seahorses and how the boys carry the babies instead of the girls. Khloe has held on to that one and makes sure to tell me several times a day! There were a few things that Khloe was not to sure about. The first was this animatronic orangutan that is holding a baby. Every so often it moves and starts making monkey sounds. Khloe stood there with a look of horror on her face and started to back up and ran right into Kristen. It was pretty hilarious! The next thing she wasn't to keen of was the sharks. She seemed ok up until the point there was this one that would swim in front of the glass very slowly and you could see all of it's jagged teeth. At that point she was done with them.

That evening we went over to Courtney's mom's house for a BBQ. The kids had a blast. I don't think they stopped running the entire evening!

I am so bummed about the lack of pictures I have of these few days! I chalk it up to two things. 1) Pregnancy Brain. 2) I was having so much fun that I just didn't have time to grab the camera. *Kristen* If you have any pictures you think I must have I will not be upset if you sent them to me. Just sayin :)

Sunday marked the end of our dear friends trip. It was a sad sad day and we miss them already! We can't wait until the next time we get to see them! Love you guys, so so much! Thank you for coming to give us a taste of home :)
