Arizona Visitors

The week before graduation, Lee's family came to Ohio, to of course see Lee graduate but also see parts of Columbus. They were lucky enough to come at just right time when the humidity was at it's highest. Kassie talked for weeks about her eight year old cousin Abby coming to visit.

As you can see from the picture, Kassie is very interested in what Abby is doing. If you look close, Kassie has a head band and a few barrettes in her hair that Abby so willingly shared with her.

One of the places we visited was Kirtland, Ohio to see the church history sites. The visitor's center there is fabulous!! We watched a movie and then went on a tour. I don't have very many pictures of that day and I'm thinking it's probably because it was sooooooo hot!!! But here is Tommy at the restaurant we ate at on the way home. This is the "going out to eat" face we don't experience too often which I guess is a good thing because Tommy sure is a messy eater!

We also went to the Columbus Art Museum. Tommy was horrible that day. He did not think looking at art was a fun thing to do, so Lee and I took turns chasing him around making sure he didn't break anything. Kassie and Abby were exposed to a few interesting paintings. Kassie apparently said, "look at all those butts" about a painting with semi-clothed people and Abby got very upset at a piece with people dying. I had no idea Kassie said the word butt. Geez what is she learning at preschool? And what is she saying when I'm not around? Hah! There was a neat room where the kids and Brenda dressed up in vintage clothing.

You can't visit Ohio and not go to the Butterfly Conservatory in the summer!!

Before the family headed home, we went to the Columbus Arts Festival. Kassie was a little tired that day. (Sorry about the underwear shot.)
It is always a good thing to spend time with family and we are grateful they were able to come and visit.
