Reunion

Jeremy's Mom & sister Jennie with her two kids came to visit for a week! I have loved watching my kids play with their Turner cousins the last 2 years & I'm so excited to get some good play time in with the Shakespear cousins. Here are 6/8ths of them reunited!
(We missed Cole & Kylie!)


We celebrated Nana's birthday!



We played at home a lot-our couches double as a bounce zone on most days :)

Nana with her 3 grandbabies. Someone asked us if we had triplets when we were pushing Miss Sarah around in the stroller with the twins-oh my, can you imagine?!


We spent a lot of time pushing our 3 double strollers. It seems excessive to have 3 double strollers & 2 single strollers but they all came in handy this week!

We went to the Springfield zoo & loved it! We heard it was small but it was great & small is just our size these days

We found 3 monkeys by the sea otter pool-weird.

Mommy/Justin time


Justin tried his first lick of apple. And we saw giraffe's. Any zoo is a success with me if giraffe's are present.

We went to the Bass Pro Shop which is ginormous. Tons of fishing/hunting stuff which doesn't sound exciting if you're not into stuff like that (like me, esp the hunting part) but it's actually great. There are tons of boats/ATV things for the boys to climb all over & tons of fish in aquariums & waterfalls, streams & lots of stuffed animals etc. It's almost as great as the zoo & it's free. Hunter talks about it all the time.


We went to the Nature Center. As great as it is I don't think we'll be going back, at least not for a long time. Emma came back with a tick as you recall on a previous walk & Nana came home with one this last time. We've only gone there 4 times, so I don't like those odds.

Oh how I love this picture! Look at that little face! So happy!
(Thanks for all the pictures Nana!)

Come back soon!!!!

Looks like you had loads of fun. It's so fun to have family close enough to spend some time with them. Wow Nana, look at that smoke!!

I love the picture with Justin and the apple...I have one almost like that with Evan from a couple of weeks ago. Fun to give babies new food!

The house you are at looks great! How fun to have family come and stay. Lee and I will be talking about when we can get together. As for the ticks...yeah. For some reason they LOVE Missouri! My friend went camping up by Lake of the Ozarks and she said all of her kids had lots of ticks on them when they got home.
