The Baker's Visit Home!

The Bakers came home for a week long visit.  We packed as much as week could into one week.  By the end of the week, we were all exhausted from all the different activities and all the family bonding.  (but it was all well worth it! - we've missed them A LOT!)
The first nigh they got there, we had supper at the Lott's.  Emily and Bryan enjoyed getting to know their newest nieces!

Frank The Tank (Evan) and Ainsley kept everyone entertained with their cuteness!

Aunt Emily couldn't get enough of these babies!

On Monday afternoon we went out to Oak Run to swim at the beach.  Since the Baker's live in Washington, it hasn't been warm enough for them to swim yet this year... it was warm enough here!!!

On Wednesday, we went to Niabi Zoo!
A big hit with the kids is always feeding the fish, ducks and turtles.

Pretty girls!

Handsome boys!

After the zoo, we headed down the road for some air conditioning and some pizza at Happy Joe's.

Thursday morning, we headed to Peoria and had some pictures taken of the kids at Bradley Park.  We had a few issues with some cooperating... but everyone ended up putting on their happy face and we got the job done.  It was fun and the pictures turned out great!  Check out the pictures by clicking on the link below!
