Spencer & Noelle and Family Come To Town

My brother-in-law, Spencer, and his family came in to town for a family vacation.  They live out in Indiana and haven't been out here to California for a long time.  So it was great to see them.  They came and celebrated their oldest daughter's, Joy, 8th birthday and they also baptized her out her.  On Friday, Joy's birthday, we took all the kids to Pretend City so they could have some fun with their cousins.  My kids loved it of course, they have been before and still enjoyed it just as much.  But, my nieces absolutely loved the place.  Here are the kids making art in the picture above.

My nieces Liberty, Joy and Hope.  They are so adorable, they are the sweetest girls.

Mckynlee, Dax and Crew were big fans of the beach section and spent most their time there.

I like Mckynlee's face in this picture.

Brock was very determined to go to each business to get his time card stamped so he could get some cash from the ATM.  He wouldn't relax until they were all stamped.  Mission accomplished.

Awww, now he can sit down, relax and watch some TV.  I took this picture through the window into the pretend house and thought it was funny that Brock and Mckynlee were watching the TV, since it had this stupid video playing that you would be sure would not catch interest of children.

Brock's favorite area of Pretend City, the control station (not sure if that's what its called).

The whole crew before we left Pretend City.  My sister-in-law, Noelle, with my nieces Miracle, Hope, Joy and Liberty and all my kids and Grandma McDowell in the background.

After Pretend City we went to Ballpark Pizza one of Clint's family's favorite pizza joints for Joy's b-day dinner.  Here are Hope, Mckynlee and Liberty waiting for their pizza's.  Saturday was Joy's baptism and then Sunday we had them all over for a BBQ.  Mckynlee couldn't get enough of her girl cousins.  She's still talking about them, she loved having them around so much.  It was so cute, too bad they live so far away and she can't see them more often.
