More (extended) family fun!

Betsy came to visit us on June 18th and was there until July 5th (minus four days in there for a beach trip). We always love it when family comes, as I think I have said a hundred times before.  Here is a little view of what the kids did to keep entertained.
We took a trip to Fiesta Texas (six flags) and enjoyed a full almost free day there!
There were very little lines and for the first time ever Kirsten went on ALL the roller coasters.  I think hanging out and being able to go with the "big kids" had something to do with it.  The girls also got a lot of positive comments with their yellow shirts!
On a couple days, the girls enjoyed fashion shoots....
(I think next time we should throw some photography sessions in there as well.)
....and blind makeovers. 
What are blind makeovers you ask? 
It's where the person who is putting the makeup on is blindfolded or they have their eyes closed.
I guess it comes down to the point that they had fun and cleaned up their mess right?
We also played lots of games.  SkipBo, Liars Dice, and plenty of Ticket To Ride. 
We also had a couple pool days.  I learned from this that a 15 minute chicken fight will result in 2 things.  1 - When it's Isaac & Toby vs. Aspen and me, no one will lose, and 2 - It will result in a very bad neck and back ache!   Although I can't figure out if it was the fact that we were chicken fighting or trying to do 4 people pyramids.  Maybe both?!
Each night the kids were tired.......and so were we.
(Betsy took half of these pictures as the kids took the other half.  Thanks!)
