We had a wonderful visit this week with Alan's sister, Michelle, her kids, and her mother, Sharon. Our niece and nephews are 11-year-old triplets--Brady, Austin, and Emily Grace. It was a busy, but wonderful couple of days!
Alan took the youth group to a water park in Greensboro, NC on Wednesday and Michelle decided to bring her family and meet him there. Afterwards, they drove back to Wake Forest and spent Wednesday night, Thursday, and part of Friday in town with us.
We started Thursday by meeting for lunch at Steak 'n Shake. Courtney was able to see her old boss (and show off Silas) and we all indulged in great food, yummy milkshakes, and passed Silas around the table! After lunch, we moved on to Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh. It is an awesome place for children of all ages. There are dress-up areas, a pirate ship, giant play areas, a sports center, tool center, and so much more. It is such an inexpensive place to play for a day at only $5 per person. We took a trip through the souvenir shop afterwards, and headed back to Wake Forest.
After freshening up a bit, we all met for dinner at a local Mexican restaurant, followed by dessert at Goodberry's. We were initially going to go swimming at their hotel, but a nasty storm forced us to choose the dessert route, instead (what a shame). We took dessert back to their hotel, though, and all 8 of us enjoyed time together until we had to take Little Bit home.
Friday morning, Silas slept in until almost 10 o'clock! He was apparently worn out! But, we got going again and were able to have lunch with everyone before they had to leave.
We had such fun with everyone and are so blessed to have time with them. They all love Silas so much, and we can't wait for him to grow up and get to know everyone! Take a look at a few pictures from the trip...
