Doug's brother, Jeff, and his wife, Liz were excellent hosts! We woke up Saturday morning and packed up some lunches and Jeff took us to a beautiful place for a 1.5 mile hike to a dam. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time. Now if we could train them to stay in the backpacks we recently purchased...
Ethan and Sydney LOVED Jeff & Liz's dog Argos. Poor Argos had recently had surgery and was recovering well but Sydney gave her a run for her money!
Doug's sister, Jenn, was kind to give my arms a rest from the "Mom, hold you." I was getting from two little 30+ pound kids and took several turns carrying kids. She bounced with Syd on her shoulders and she had a buddy for life.
After hiking, we went directly to some family friend's home to swim. The Mantz family made us feel right at home and we had a great time swimming and jumping on the trampoline. Marly was so great to play with E&S and push Sydney on the swings forever. :-) Lisa made us a delicious BBQ and Ethan and Sydney were in love with all the dogs there that day--I think 5 or 6 dogs in total plus a turtle. What more could a pair of kids ask for? It was a great day.
