The Florida Newmans

Chad's dad, his stepmom, Babs, and stepsister, Rachel were visiting from Florida over spring break. It was so fun! We hadn't seen them in a really long time. They came into town late Saturday evening on the 12th and stayed the night with us. We stayed up even later chatting and catching up. The kids were so excited for them to get here. We let them stay up past their bedtimes to get spend some time with them. When we heard them knock on the door, both Jackson and Caroline ran to the door yelling, "They're here, they're here!!"

They left the next day to head to Dallas to spend the remainder of the week there. We went up on Tuesday for the day and hung out some more. Babs had the idea to go miniature golfing. I hadn't done that in a really long time and our kids had never been. It was so fun!! Jackson and Caroline were so fun to watch. When Caroline's turn came up she'd start out attempting to do it the correct way then she'd pick the ball up and move it a few inches away from the hole, sit down and knock it in with her club. She thought she had the game figured out. Jackson wasn't quite sure how to hold the club but he gave it his best shot every time. Toward the end his ball was knocked into the pond. Oops! I ended up giving him my ball to finish with. At the last hole, Fletcher was the first to knock his ball in and when my kids saw you don't get it back they were very hesitant to knock their balls into the hole.

Here's a little look at our golfing extravaganza -

On Thursday they came back through Longview on their way home and ate dinner at our house with us. It was great to see them one last time before they headed back. Before they left we had to get a group photo.

It really was so great to see all of them and Jackson and Caroline loved having their Peepaw and Meemaw here. Rachel was so sweet with them and they really loved her. She rode in our car while we were in Dallas and that made their whole day. That night as we were leaving to go back to Longview, Caroline wanted Rachel to come with us. I sure hope we get to see them again very soon!
