What a great start to the day!
Cookin' breakfast...
Getting ready for breakfast!
The chef at work.
Delicious!
Later in the morning, we had more visitors! Mark and Jean have been reading our blog for a few years and we actually stayed with them for a couple of nights at their house in Saskatoon on our way north last year. They're in the middle of planning some long term RV'ing this fall and wanted to meet Chris and Juan in case they decide on some Mexican RV travel as well.
So they arrived at around 11:00am and we had a great time visiting for the afternoon.
Visiting on the deck.
Lindsey, wearing my Tilley hat. I think she needs to get one of her own!
Lucky Cameron got an ice cream!
Mark and Jean brought the fixings for lunch. Sausages and fancy individually wrapped wieners and gluten free buns! We grilled them up and put together a few other things for lunch, and we feasted again!
Lunch!
After lunch, we went for a walk to work off some of those calories!
Ruth, Jean, Chris, Juan, Mark, and Kevin.
We checked in on our baby robins. They're hungry!
While we were out for a walk, Lindsey and Sadie and Cameron were down at the "beach" playing in the mud!
Can you tell he had fun playing in the mud??
What a great day we had. Last year we had very few visitors and now we've had three sets of visitors already!
Chris and Juan made dinner too. We didn't need much, and didn't eat until 7:30pm or so. They made us some real Mexican tacos. Really made us miss Mexico and look forward to November when we make it back there!
Here's our favourite pic from the month of April 2008...this huge old tree is in South Carolina and we saw it on our way back to Canada in the motorhome.
Kevin, at the 1,400 year old angel oak tree.
Hate to tell you this Kevin, but Lindsey looks better in your hat. You guys are going to be lonesome when everybody leaves.
ReplyDeleteShe does look good in that hat and now she wants to get a Tilley Hat.
DeleteYep, it is going sure is going to be quiet but we still have a week to go before that happens.
I'm sure that was just water in Ruth's red 'SOLO' cup!
ReplyDeleteActually, that "SOLO" cup was just some garbage that I picked up on our walk and there was some broken glass in it that I picked up as well. Sorry to disappoint you!
DeleteYou guys are really making me hungry for some comida Mexicana!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Paula, but the food was so good we just had to show pictures of it. Won't be long and you will have them at your house, cooking a meal, I am sure.
DeleteWow, what a great day - love all the photos - Lindsey looks like her mama, so pretty in that Tilley! Cameron having fun in the mud - that's a real boy there! The pic of the baby robin just cracks me up. You know what they say - LIVE - LAUGH - LOVE - and your blog covers all of those!!!!

Thank you Connie and Barry, we are having such a great time with Lindsey and the kids and then having Chris, Juan, Mark and Jean visit was just the topping on the cake. Life sure is good!
DeleteYou did feast and lotsa company too. No time to work.
ReplyDeleteWe sure did and we did do a little bit of work.
DeleteHappy you all had a great visit. Next time I'm going to get the guys to do some cooking. Your location and having the house make it a perfect place for friends & family to visit.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a perfect place for both. Hoping that we will get more visitors over the summer.
DeleteCan Chris and Juan stay until we get there??
ReplyDeleteSorry Nancy and Doug, we really tried to convince them to stay longer but like you they had to move on or they would run out of time. Looking forward to our visit with you at the end of the month.
DeleteWe have some pretty good friends! Fun day with Mark and Jean, good food and lots of conversation.
ReplyDeleteWe have pretty good friends ourselves! Thank you, both Chris and Juan for coming and visiting and for the delicious meals that you guys made, oh and for the wine and beer. We had a great time and look forward to seeing you both this winter.
DeleteYou'd best do a "hat inventory" right around the time Lindsay starts packing up to leave!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Bob, we will definitely make sure it doesn't get packed up next week.
