On Thursday, Chad's brother and sister-in-law and their kids flew in from Connecticut for a family visit in eastern Arkansas. We drove in on Wednesday night so we could be there when they arrived. We decided to all stay at my parent's farm house. It was the perfect setting for a relaxing "getaway"! It's in the middle of nowhere, barely any cell phone service and with plenty of room for the kids to run wild and act.... well, like kids! The kids are at such a fun age right now... Grant (4), Eli (3 1/2) and Lily (just about to turn 3). They have such a good time together and play so well together.
Of course July in Arkansas is miserably hot and humid. But that didn't stop us from having fun and playing outside. We took advantage of water balloons, sprinklers and slip n slides.
Eli discovered a hole in his water balloon.
We couldn't get them filled fast enough.
It took us 30 seconds to make one balloon and half a second for them to pop!
Grant waiting patiently on his water balloon.
There were sunflower fields all around the house. They were almost all gone but I found this one last one standing! I just love sunflowers. They are so happy :)

We spent lots of time on the "golf course". They kids had a great time!
These boys are going to be best buds for a LONG time! They have such a fun time together!

Left to right: Grant, Eli, Gracie, Lily, and Emmie
Actually I'm not sure which one is Gracie and which one is Emmie. I can never tell them apart! Ha!
This was the first time they were all together!
I have lots of pictures coming so stayed tuned for more!
