Yard Visit

My sister Sarah and her husband Jeff, his son Jordan and their kids Jamison and Julianna stayed with us for the wedding and were here until Tuesday.  I was excited to spend time with her kids and wanted them in our house.  I had never met Julianna.  Jams was all about wanting to see Uncle Todd's trucks and on Monday I took them to lunch at Canale's (Sarah's favorite place... There's apparently a lack of Italian food in Virginia.  I had requests from all of them including half moons for Sissy and Cappicola for mom.), we went out to the yard. Jams was a natural!

They all wanted to try, of course.

I was surprised to see Jordan get excited about this digger.  He's 14, at an age where the kid side pops out still.  

Todd showed him how to drive it and let him use it.  He was thrilled. 

Then they all got a turn in the street sweeper.  The boys goofing off while waiting their turn.. They ended up being two peas in a pod. 

While I was in the office with Abbey and Jams was driving, my sister Sarah slipped in a puddle as she was video taping him and he turned the wheel towards her.  I was sad I missed it!!  The kids had a blast.  Then woke up Ellie as they pulled on one of the air horns.  Jules slept through it.
