Strickland Family Visit... part I

This past week we had Mike's family from CA (and Texas: Kenny) come and visit! It was so great to have them here and for them to play with their grandchildren and just have a good time. I made sure to take a lot of pictures to help document their visit!

Grandpa and Katrien are drawing!

Katrien and April are blowing bubbles on the front porch.

Just looking cute!

They are so cute and had such fun with each other all week long! Thanks April!

We went to Family First Sports Park in Erie, PA and played in their bounce house maze!

Uncle Kenny watched Kiera for a while.
Next we went to dinner for Mom's (Sharon's) birthday to celebrate.
(We didn't get to sit together though.... ugh, stupid restaurant!
The girls got to draw with chalk while we were waiting:

We got bored waiting too...haha
This was our waitress who announced to the restaurant that is was Sharon's b-day.
(Sharon, that was all your sons doings!)
The guys had to make up for lost time and pick on each other.

All together it was a wonderful visit and we can't wait till we can all get together again! We really cherish the time we get to spend with them and appreciate them taking the trek!
