The Driskells: Playtime with the Driskells

The Driskell family recently came for a visit, and I think it goes without saying, but what FUN we had!! We all know Quinn has had an Audrey obsession for a while now.... Kathryn's new favorite question is now "Mal go?" (Where did Mal go??) These girls are so sweet & such a pleasure to be around--what great role models! We wish we could see family more often but I'm so grateful when we do get to spend time together...

here we are out to dinner, for some reason they had airplane seats in the waiting area...the girls were pretending to fly to Tulsa ;)

ice cream after dinner

Mal is big into taking pictures-- she took this one with my iphone, I think I'll be handing over my camera soon!

here we are the next day... after a late night out, we had some sleepy girls!!

Poppy & I loaded the big girls into her shiny new minivan & headed out for a field trip to the aquarium

Quinn had so many favorites, I tried to include most of them!

lunch break

here they are touching sting rays. thank goodness I was on picture duty, I was practically having a panic attack! Luckily, they had Poppy there, she is so good with the girls & a great teacher!!

more ice cream ;)

on the way to see the Dolphin show

I'm not sure I will ever forget how excited Audrey was-- we weren't sure we were going to make it to the dolphin show and I was thrilled for her when we got there. She is SUCH the nature/animal lover. I sat next to her before the show and she was trying so hard to be patient before it started, she literally asked me the time every minute until it showtime. I don't think she stopped smiling once during the show;)

what fun!!

when we got home, Dean & Brian had dinner ready & after we played outside

future babysitter ;)

just for Bampa, here they are playing "froggie"

rommies for the night, except for Kathryn! This is the first time Quinn has been able to share a room with anyone aside from Kathryn... we weren't sure she was ever going to fall asleep!
