My nieces - notice the ziplock bag the oldest one is holding.
Friday my sister Leslie and her three girls, Erika-8, Meghan-5 1/2, and Bekah-2 1/2 came to visit for the weekend. Saturday I kidnapped Bryce-3 1/2 and Hailey-1 1/2 for the day so that the cousins could get to know each other. We spent the morning at the park playing on the playground. After lunch and naps, we walked to the train depot where the kids watched an old steam engine leave for a ride and played on some old train cars. For supper they made their own pan pizzas. The kids all loved playing together. Bryce and Bekah really hit it off.
I thought it was really funny this morning when my nieces wanted to go play in the back yard after breakfast in their pajamas. It was even funnier when they came in and asked if they could take a dead lightning bug home in a plastic bag (with grass and a stick) so they could bury it. They didn't want to bury it here because it would be too far away to visit! As of mid-afternoon today, Iowa will be short one dead lightening bug.

Rebekah was sleeping before we got out of Boone!
I'm so glad you and the girls were able to come visit. I really enjoyed our time together. Wish we lived closer to each other. Our whole family seems to be spreading out further and further!
I wish we lived closer too! Thankfully we have blogs and Facebook to keep in touch. A dismal second, but it's better than nothing.
