Weekend: wedding and visitors

Friday morning started out with cleaning.  However, the cleaning was led by Joshua.  He decided it was time to clean the basement, so we did.  Then we cleaned his room.  Then we cleaned the guest room.  He finished with a few odds and ends, after having worked hard for an hour and a half.  He kept saying, "Dad and Isaac will be so surprised!"

In the evening we went to Joel and Emily's wedding and it was beautiful.  (It was Isaac and Joshua's first time to a wedding.)

Joshua really wanted to show Grandma a Lego set in a magazine.

I brought some new small sets of Legos for the kids...it was a nice distraction.

Isaac danced with Pat, but I don't think he was a fan.

Joshua danced with Ben, and he was just a blur.

Isaac laughed super hard about this strawberry in his dessert.  I'm not really sure why.

Saturday Evelyn tried to get Joshua to dance; it didn't work well.

We went to the critter barn.

Isaac wanted his picture with Cnl. Sanders, who is apparently a super nice rooster, but didn't really want to be very close.

This small goat kept coming by me and nibbling at my pants.  It was a nice warm goat, so I didn't mind that it wanted to be friendly as it was a slightly cool day.

We got to watch them put hay in the loft and it was apparently the best thing ever.  The kids watched for the whole wagon load.

We went downtown for treats.  I think everyone was fine with holding hands; I just got a poor picture.

Sunday Dad and Pat brought bagels and then we went for a walk at Riley Woods.  Dad barely hit the parking barrier, but Joshua could only see the tree and kept saying, "Grandpa! You hit the tree!"

There were many sticks picked up.  The nice thing about taking a walk with the cousins is that all the kids seemed to be excited about it.

And then they left. :(
