My family came to visit at the beginning of November to see where we live and to celebrate my (yikes!) 27th birthday. They were only here for a few days and it seemed like a whirlwind but it was great to spend time with them on our turf. We visited a quaint downtown area one day, went to the lake to go canoeing another, and they graciously spent time watching us play tennis. We thought having 5 adults and two dogs in our apartment would feel really crowded, but it really went okay.
The day that we went canoeing was by far my favorite. Since we got our canoe I have wanted to take it out for the day and have a picnic somewhere, which we got to do. We packed lunches, drove about 25 minutes to the nearest lake (which also happened to be in a boonie-town), rented another canoe and headed out. We paddled around for a while and stopped on shore to eat our lunch and spent some time eating, resting, and skipping some rocks. We stopped for ice cream on the way home. Good, clean fun if you ask me.
My mom was the one who took all the pictures and she is still compiling them, so these are just a couple. We had gorgeous weather while they were here, no rain, and we appreciated their company. Love you guys!
