Chelsey visits!

The weekend of the ninth was also a great weekend because Auntie Chelsey came to visit! We had such a good time playing and catching up. Kenna ran up to her at the airport and gave her a big hug, it was great!She came in really late Saturday, so I think we played a game of settlers, then just caught up. The next day Kenna, Chels and I all went to the Iowa State Fair. It was quite the adventure dodging traffic in the morning. We saw chainsaw carvers, firetrucks, horses, so many animals (including a petting zoo, more food than anyone could eat, and many other things. We walked through quite a few buildings and checked out some of the various entries, and just had a great afternoon with wonderful weather! We cut out around 2-ish so Kenna could get a nap.

That night we probably played settlers again, just hung out and did nothing. Sometimes those are the best nights :) We went to dinner at PF Changs and it was very yummy!

The next day I was lucky enough to play hooky from work. We went grocery shopping and played outside. That evening we went to Sam's birthday party. He was turning 4 and is the son of Josh's friend from work. We got to play on all the great inflatable toys, as well as all the neat slides and climbing toys. After Auntie Chelsey climbed up with her a few times, she wasn't scared at all and was going on everything.

Tuesday Chels got to watch Kenna all day while I worked. Sounds like they had fun, and Chelsey commented on how much my child pees :)

Thanks for coming to Iowa to visit Auntie Chelsey, we sure had fun having you here!!!
