A visit from AshLee and Patrick.

Over Memorial Day weekend, we had a surprise visit from our niece Ashlee and her husband Patrick (Padrik as the girls love to call him).  We made the most of the three days and packed in loads of fun.  Grandma took her granddaughters to lunch at the Village.
 



Patrick played many games of basketball with the girls.


Patrick and AshLee took the girls on a bike ride to the gas station for candy.  Later that evening, AshLee and I rode back down for a bottle of wine.  I was actually quite surprised at the good selection of wine they had.  Who would have thunk it?


We BBQ'ed in the beautiful weather.  The girls decided to skip the BBQ in favor of their friend, Blake's, birthday party. 

Sitting out by the fire and star gazing.


A fun game of bowling.
 



Even with no fingerprints (chemo side affect), Kevin still managed to beat me.  GRR.

We took the girls out to the base to check out the planes.

The girls pretending they actually know what they are looking at.  We will make airplane lovers out of them yet.

Family picture in front of the trusted C-130.  It was too bad that they did not have a display of the all time best fighter jet around, the fabulous F14 Tomcat.  Hoorah!
 
We went to the pool for some swimming and sunshine.
 



A trip to the Saturday morning farmers market.



The girls waited very patiently for the balloon ladies to make them a piece of balloon art.


A picture of Patrick and AshLee in front of the state Capitol.  AshLee loves politics and is currently working as the Press Secretary for Governor Scott Walker (Wisconsin). 


No trip is ever complete without lunch at Andrade's!
 
Thank you guys for coming.  We had a great visit!
