The Lukes Visit

July 27 - August 2, 2014

We moved into our rental home on July 26th.  On the 27th, Nate's sister, Liz, got to come visit us!  Two of her kids, Jake and Emily, came the next day and we were able to visit with them all for about a week.

Liz was amazing and helped me unpack much of my main need-everyday-boxes.  We had some really good talks and all the cousins had a nice time together.

At Liberty Jail

Aunt Liz is super fun!

Max on the vine.

Awh, Nate took the time to cook a s'more for me.  I didn't think it was possible to get the chocolate soft and gooey, but he did it!

Elise and Cousin Emily making potions.  Dragon, Pegasus, Werewolf, Chimera, etc.

Siblings: Trevor, Liz, Nate

Some time on the Wii with Cousin Jake.

Mmmmm! Banana Boats!

Everyone loves Legos!

I'm not sure what these girls are playing in Elise's room but they had a good time.

 Because they live in Oregon, we haven't been able to visit much with Jake and Emily, so this was a very fun time for all.  We got to know them and vice versa and enjoyed the time together!
