Bates Invasion!

My Mom, Dad, Michael & Claire came to visit! We love it when we have visitors! We did lots of fun things....

They came to my show...twice! They haven't seen me in a play since high school, so that was super fun to perform with my family in the audience!

One thing we had to do while they were here....get a Bedford Snowball! YUM! There is a cute snow-cone shop near our house that was popular at all times this summer. Michael & Claire remembered it from when they visited last summer...and requested we go again!
We had lots of girls/boys time. :) The girls went shopping at Charming Charlie's. I've never been there before, but always wanted to check it out. Who better to go with than Mom & Claire? It is a super cute jewelry shop. The boys spent time playing Settlers of Cataan and other manly things.

I cooked breakfast with Claire so she could pass off a Personal Progress goal. It turned out GREAT! We ate a LOT of yummy food....we always invite all of our visitors to "Tolsma Fat Camp" at our house. :)

Quick picture with the girls before church!

Our last day we ate BBQ outside and played backyard games. Fun fun!

The girls won ladder-ball...to the surprise of the male ego.
My dad broke his glasses right before he came...his new ones were ordered, so he had to pull out his old glasses from the 90's to wear during the trip. We made so many jokes about those glasses!! Lookin' good pop!

Thanks for coming! It was such a fun, relaxing trip and we so enjoyed you here!
