Visit with Ann and Matthew

We were lucky to have a visit this past week from my sister-in-law Ann and my nephew Matthew.  They came on Tuesday and left on Sunday.  We really had a good time.   It was so nice having them here!  We didn't get to do a ton of stuff because the girls were in school.  Too bad their spring break didn't match up to Matthew's.  We still had a lot of fun though!

Lindsey helped me make calzones so they had something to eat when they got here!  They were really good.  What a mess we made, but it was fun.
The first thing the boys did was grab the light sabers and play Star Wars.
Matthew wanted to shoot the BB-gun really bad.  Uncle Bob sat down and went though all the rules and all the safety information with him. 
He had a BLAST with it!
Yes, that is ANN with the BB-gun.  He even got her to shoot it.
She did awesome.  She made every shot AND she had fun!  I still can't believe it.
Hailey was just busy getting dirty.  It's one of her favorite things to do!
We went to Lake D'Arbone to fish and this is what we saw.  It is a dead Water Moccasin.  Someone cut the head and tail off of it.  He was pretty big.  It's hard to tell from this picture.  That's only the second snake that I've seen since we've been here.  The other was a little green harmless one.
Matthew wanted to fish, fish, fish!  He loves to fish.

Aunt Ann and Johnny caught a fish!
Matthew found a toad.  That's something that I don't mind.  I love to catch the toads and frogs.

Being silly
Uncle Bob took the kids to the flight simulator.  Here's Johnny flying the plane.
Matthew had a blast!
Lindsey's turn.
Now Hailey gets to fly the plane with one arm!
Here's Hailey casting with her cast.  : )
Johnny having fun fishing with his Cars pole.
Yes, this is me putting worms on the hook.  There are other pictures with much nastier faces, but this is the best you're going to get.  YUK!
Here is a rainbow that was over our house.  The picture doesn't really do it justice.  It was beautiful!
Here's everyone outside looking at the rainbow.
It's hard to see but it was really pretty.  
Friday night.  Must be game night!  We played Whoonu.  It's such a fun game.

Daddy and Johnny working on their strategy.
What a silly group!
Matthew zonked this night.  He was really tired.  He slept like that for a couple hours.
Buddies!!  Johnny LOVED having another boy around!
It's the crazy train!
Everyone wants their back rubbed.
Fishing again.  It was pretty cold this day, but we still had fun.  We went to our neighbors lake.
Lindsey fishing.
Hailey caught one even with a broken arm.  It was funny to watch her trying to reel it in with one arm in a cast!
She's not afraid to touch anything.  She loved touching the fish and all the bait!
Matthew's got one!
Well, it was a turtle, not a fish.  He was pretty cool looking.
Here's a fish!  He would have fished the whole time if he could have!  I think he caught six fish this day.  We didn't have as much luck the other times.
We had a great visit and hope they will be able to come back again soon!  We love and miss you Ann and Matthew!
Any more visitors???  We'd love to have you!
