Aunt Laurel comes to visit!

My sister Laurel came out for a whole week to play with the kids and me. It was really fun but the time went way too fast. Also, having Charlotte still taking two naps a day made it difficult to get out and do everything we wanted, but oh well. This was her second day here. She was dancing with the kids which Hunter was obviously LOVING.Holding two kids, not as easy as it looks.
Spencer and I couldn't help getting in on the party. Spencer said I was "gettin down with my bad self."
The next day we all went to the school to have lunch with Spencer and to let him do a quick eye exam on Laurel.
Hunter looks like such a little man here in the lab.

Charlotte got dressed up too in case any cute soon-to-be doctors looked her way.

Taking Laurel downtown for some barbecue at Rendezvous. We had never been here before and Laurel wanted to see downtown. Sadly the food wasn't that great but the atmosphere was fun. I know this isn't a great picture or even in focus but it was the only one I got of Laurel and me together.
Just some cool buildings we saw on our way to Rendezvous.
Saturday morning we went yardsaling (Spencer hates going so it was fun to have company). We probably went to 5 or 6 yardsales and found a few fun things but this was the coolest. You can only see the top of it in the photo, but it's a Busy Zoo activity cube. It's solid wood and has all these fun games on every side. Anyway, I paid $10 for it which I thought was a little expensive. Then I looked it up online and saw that they sell new for over $100! This one look unused except for two scratches. Even used I didn't see any for less than $85. So basically all I'm getting at is, it was a great deal.
Hunter turned 3 today and Laurel wanted to get him a gift before she left. She got him this great tool set which he uses all the time. It has all the same tools that dad has which he thinks is pretty great. He does mostly use it when he's suppose to be sleeping, but I guess that means he likes it.
Monday we were suppose to go to Pump it Up (a blow up toy place). So we got Hunter all psyched up and he was to ready to go when we got in there and saw they changed their hours for the summer. We were all annoyed but he was heart broken. The worst part is that the hours are now 2-3:30, right during nap time! It still makes me mad. Anyway, we went to the mall playground with some friends. It was still fun, but not Pump it Up.
Next morning we went to the park. Hunter played in the dirt while Charlotte sat by my and grinned the whole time.
They did take a little break for swings.
It was over so quick. This is the morning Laurel went home. Instead of doing something fun her last morning she let me sleep in because I came down sick the day before. What a great sister! Charlotte obviously agrees.
