Visiting the Nelsons

The first weekend in November we went to Colorado with Steve's parents to visit his sister, Nicole and her family. Their newest daughter, Kate, was being blessed, so we joined them for the occasion. I enjoyed the rather short 3 1/2 hour drive. The girls did well, though we probably had to stop more than Nick and Wilda had anticipated for dirty diapers, bathroom breaks, and food/nursing stops. We arrived Friday evening and relaxed, had a tasty dinner, and let the girls play. Then Saturday, we had a gourmet brunch of Creme Brulee French Toast (except me and the girls who had wheat-free waffles) before heading out for bowling and dinner out.

It was Emilia's first time bowling.  With the bumpers and the ramp, she bowled better than everyone but Tristan and Dad.  I'm not sure she thought much of it though.  She seemed rather bored the whole time.

Bubby and Meg were troopers.  They were both tired by the end of our second game.

When we got home the girls played again until bed time and then the adults had some laughs watching Kid History on YouTube.  Sunday morning was the time change, so we were all up early with the kids.  We were ready for 9am church in plenty of time, which is nothing short of a miracle for my family.  After church I got a picture of all the girls on the couch together.  Meg was excited to be able to hold Mira. :)  We had pork tenderloin in peach salsa for lunch (which was delicious, by the way), and then packed up and headed home.  Thanks for a fun weekend, Nelsons!
