Jana and John come to play...

We had so much fun this weekend as Jared's Aunt Jana and Uncle John came to visit. They came on Friday and stayed for the weekend entertaining Katy and Lexie the whole time! They won Katy's heart instantly as they came bearing gifts. We went to the pumpkin patch Friday night, but couldn't stay long because it was so muddy. That night, while I was getting Katy ready for bed I told her it was time to go potty. Katy said, "no, I want him to take me" pointing at her uncle! John turned a little red and told Katy that he would wait for her on the couch. On Saturday we took Jana and John to Bluebonnet Swamp which was really fun especially since the weather was so nice. It's more like a nature reserve than a swamp, although part of it is a little swampy. They have this nice wooden boardwalk for you to walk on and the hike is pretty shaded. The park also has a visitor's center where you can see and pet different animals - mostly snakes and alligators. When Jana and John were driving off on Sunday Katy turns to me and says in a forlorn voice "I loved Aunt Jana" =) We had such a fun relaxing weekend with Jana and John - we hope you guys visit again soon!

This is what happens when anybody besides mommy picks up Lexie!

Notice the instant smile on Lulu's face as she is promptly handed back to mommy!

I love this picture of Katy cuddling with Jana on the couch

I was terrified while Katy pet this alligator. I pretended not to be though because I don't want her to be scared of everything when she grows up like I am.

I was the navigator on the trail and of course I led them down the wrong path! How did I end up with the map when there were two boyscouts with us?!?
