We had a wonderful visit with Nana, Poppa, Uncle Chris, Aunt LeighAnne, Makayla, Hunter and Remy (their black lab). They all drove down from Canada to spend four days and Jack's birthday with us. We had great weather and spent the majority of our time outside in the backyard by the pool. Jack really enjoyed playing with Makayla (or Kayla as he called her) and Makayla was so sweet to him! They were best pals by the end of the weekend. We got to celebrate Hunter's first birthday which was actually June 26th. He made my day by digging into the cake I made him (Jack wouldn't touch his first birthday cake!). And, despite some aches and pains of teething, he also managed to enjoy some time playing in the pool.
Makayla said her favorite part of the weekend was going to the Fourth of July parade...where she was able to collect lots of candy. Jack also loved seeing all of the firetrucks, police cars and marching bands. I don't have pictures because our hands were full of kids and I forgot the camera, but I do have lots of other photos to share...
Thanks to you all for making the drive down, we hope you come back soon for another visit!!
(separate blog post to come of Jack's party)
Chris and Hunter
Makayla and Jack. Jack discovered pool floats and was very happy to kick around the pool on his own (close supervision obviously).
Nana and Makayla having fun!

Happy Birthday Hunter!!
You can see Jack's little hand...he stole and ate about 10 of the balls around the outside of the cake. SUGAR buzz!!
Hunter starting to get to the actual cake part.. Jack in the background still supervising...notice more balls are gone!
Jack and Makayla in the 'hot tub'..which was kept around 90 degrees for the weekend and served as more of a little pool for the younger kids. Jack can touch the bottom and loves jumping around in there.
Lola and Remy patiently waiting for their turn to swim.
Lunch date for Jack and Makayla
Water table fun!
Jack in his jammies telling everyone goodnight.
Hugging his buddy Makalya.
Jack helping Makayla try out her blow up kid sized bed. We actually gave them the chance to sleep in Jack's room together, but Jack was too excited to have company and wouldn't let Makayla sleep. These pics of them being 'nice and cozy' are pretty cute..
Poppa made us all yummy pancakes for breakfast the next morning. Remy is standing by hoping he might get a bite.
More fun in the big tub.
