Last Minute Trip

So, right before we headed out to Dylan's game, we got a call from Me-maw. She told us that Chris' cousins Kathy, Eric, and Ben (all from Las Vegas) were in Hot Springs for the weekend. It was a sudden thing because Chris' aunt's mom had passed away (we are sorry for your loss, Aunt Becky). Anyway, Chris has been trying to meet his cousin Kathy for two years now but we were never able to go to Las Vegas nor get up to Hot Springs when ever she came there. (Its a long story on why Chris has never met his cousin....)

So, we decided to take advantage of the situation and make the trip as soon as Dylan's game was over.

We had a great visit. Kathy was so sweet and lots of fun. First we played outside and visited. The boys had a home-made potatoe gun that we tried out. Dylan had more fun with those potatoes! Then, we all went out to the lake to check out Eric's cousin's new jet ski. Later we all (there was 11 of us!) went to a great seafood place and stayed until almost 10pm talking, laughing, and catching up. After dinner, we all stayed up - some of us til almost 3am- and listened to Eric and Ben play the guitars and sing. We joined in for alot of the songs.

Sunday, Dylan and Chris went with Ben, Eric, and Uncle Jim to the lake to fish. They took Jim's boat. Dylan and Ben (Jim and Becky's youngest son) were the only two who caught any fish! While the guys were at the lake, us girls all went to the mall for lunch and shopping!

Here are some pictures:



We all had such a nice visit- one we hope to repeat real soon! (hopefully next time we will be able to stay longer!)
