Thursday morning at 5 am Dave got a text message from one of our favorite people, Mandy Jones. It said "Knock Knock, Let me in!" More than just a little confused, he went to the front door ready to take a picture of the empty porch and send it back to our crazy friend. To his great surprise, she was standing there! She had driven through the night with two of her kids to come and visit us for the long weekend. Usually when your phone rings at that hour people aren't calling with good news, but this was the best surprise ever!!! We met the Jones family in Rexburg 4 years ago and quickly became the best of friends. They currently are living in the Sacramento area while Mandy and I make plans to find jobs for our husbands in the same city so we can be close together again!!
We had a super fun weekend that went by way to quickly. On Saturday we took the kids to a fruit stand that has a hay maze and a hay pyramid with a slide at the top. The kids also picked out some pumpkins which we made homemade pumpkin pie with that night...it was delicious!
Kayli is the only child too small to run away from us so we made her pose with the pumpkins. We actually caught some smiles!
All the kiddos minus Aidan who stayed home to babysit his dad while mom was gone.
Thanks for coming so far to see me, can't wait to see you guys again! Andrew is already asking about when we can go to California...
