A visit from Bryan and Sam!

Last week Bryan and Sam came to visit! We had a lot of fun with them - even if we didn't do a ton of stuff. Joel had to work a lot, which was such a bummer. But even still, he and Bryan went out to do a bunch of shooting. (gophers mostly, although they did get something pretty cool, which you'll see at the end!) The girls went out for ice cream, of course! For some reason, Karissa doesn't smile for the camera right now - she just makes a cheesy face! What a goof...
Chloe's havin' a great old time on the bench!
I didn't catch this one in time... Karissa actually had Bryan holding the baby on his lap. What a guy!
This game tuckered Bryan right out, but Karissa could have played for hours! He hopped her from one cushion to the next. He had her in stitches! It took Karissa a couple of days to warm up to Bryan, but by the end of the second day she wasn't playing shy at all! He got her all hyped up the one night and that was it! The next morning she basically ran up to him and jumped into his arms :)
The boys were pretty proud of this kill. They were shooting gophers and then saw a badger behind them. Joel wanted me to post the pic. He was very excited about it! (sorry if anyone's really grossed out)
We did go to the water park with Bryan and Sam, too. Of course, I forgot my camera! We also went to the Tunnels in Moose jaw the one night - kid free! What a great evening :) It was so good to have them here...
