Eric's family has always been wonderful about making an effort to come see us, the black sheep of the family who moved away. We love them for it. This time when they came we decided to jam in as much activity as humanly possible into the time they were here. (In case they never come back, right?)
We did:
1. Mya's gymnastics
2. two of Austin's swim meets (bless their melting souls!)
3. looked for gators
4. yummy food
5. a night at the Cabin, which included lots of lake swimming, fishing, crafts, yummy food, critter finding, boys cousins all piled in one room, girls cousins retreating to travel trailer with Grandma and Grandpa, jumping off of the boat house, smores and a not-so-scary-to-anyone-else-but-the-Eric-Bascom-kids story.
6. Austin's baptism
7. waffles after church
8. jambalya courtesy of my bro Shane after baptism...delish!
9. Global Wildlife center where the pregnant giraffes ate right out of our hands!
10. shopping
11. golf for guys
12. forgetting our kids where around because they did not need us at all with so many cousins around.
13. barbecuing
14. touring Houmas House
15. eating at "The Cabin"
16. more shopping
17. Eric's Rotary dinner, which we totally dolled Chrisie up for!
18. youth temple trip
19. swimming, swimming and swimming
20. sno-balls
21. lizard, frog and turtle catching
22. girls fixing each other's hair
23. etc., etc., etc.
A jam packed week. Adam and company left on Sunday and Dave's fam and Eric's parents left on Thursday. We miss everyone so much!

Holy cow! You did all this AND then went down to lead the your kids singing at Youth Conference! Dang girl, where do you buy your batteries?!
Seriously, though, what a great, memorable trip! I am sure everyone will be back for more! (But probably not in July. haha)
My posts are out of order. This was in June. However, we did have a sleepover for the Beehives the night before Youth Conference and the week before was equally as packed as this one. I took a LONG nap today :)
