Visits from Grandma Connie and Cousin Naomi

Last weekend my mom came up to watch the boys. Dan and I went up to Wisconsin for the Seniors Only retreat. It is one night/two days where we celebrate the high school seniors graduating from high school and help prepare them for college. We have been meeting with the seniors several times throughout the year and this was the last time. We stayed at a lake house of one of the students. It was really pretty up there. The students had fun riding big wheels down the hill into the water, paddle boating, and just hanging out.
While we were gone, our niece Naomi and her friend Betsy came to stay at our house on Friday night. Naomi had an interview at Six Flags on Saturday. We were bummed that we missed her but it looks like we'll be seeing her again next week (and possible all summer!)
The boys had a lot of fun hanging out with Grandma. They went to the park and played in our back yard. They also helped make me a rice krispie "cake" for my birthday. When I called home to talk with the boys and ask what they were doing, Isaac said he was making me a cake! So much for surprises :)
