My cousin Anna, her hubby Kurtis, and their two kids Maggie and Dallin have been staying with us. Kurt is a beekeeper (with my dad and uncle) and comes down here for the Almond season. Anna decided to bring the kids for a visit and of course a trip to Disneyland. Unfortunately, they went today and I'm a little worried about the weather.
We did enjoy the beautiful weather we had on Sunday and yesterday though. Considering the weather up where Anna lives is supposed to have a wind chill of -20*, I pretty sure they all enjoyed the sunshine. We started off Sunday with a visit to the park to play on the toys. Aubrey was napping so she missed out. Then, my dad came down from Porterville and brought my lil' sisters with him. We decided to ride bikes to the park by our house for another round of playing. The weather was beautiful and it was fun to get out and soak up the sunshine. Then, we all went to Christy's for a big dinner of enchiladas, tacos, rice and beans. YUM! And finally, we finished the day of with a super fun bath.
Yesterday we headed up north to the Tulare outlets and my dad's house. The ladies and babes went shopping while the men and big kids headed over to my dad's. We got some GREAT deals at Osh Kosh and Dally-boy and Aubrey had some bonding time over a yummy lunch at Togos. Then, we were off to my dads for some paintball and outdoor fun (I know, didn't I learn my lesson the first time I went paintballing?). Christy and Chinalyn stayed inside with the kiddos while Anna and I joined everyone else for some paintball. I liked it a lot better this time because they made the course bigger (there are even towers you can climb into now) and we decided to play with limited balls (50). That way people had to shoot for accuracy and couldn't just keep shooting like wild banshees. After the paintball adventures were done, we brought the kids outside to play on all the toys. It reallly is like a playground because my dad installed all the old toys from my sister's school. 
Last night, we did some last minute shopping while the kids were in bed and Anna got packed up for their journey to Disneyland and home.
Today, I'm adopting Lorie's PJ Monday, but I'm making it PJ Tuesday and I trying to recoop from all the fun :) We're really sad that Kurtis and Anna don't live closer :(, but we had a GREAT time while they were here.

wowsers, all that fun is making me dizzy. And I think it is hilarious that a girly-girl like you plays paintball! Do wonders ever cease? I'm glad you had fun, though even with boys, I am not sure you will ever catch me playing paintball:)
We had so much fun. My kids will never want to bathe at home again. Thanks so much for everything. Dallin cried when he saw his bed tonight and pointed to it because he was so excited to get in it. Im sure Aubrey is recovering too!
