When Browns Come to Town

This past week, we had Josh's parents in town along with two of our nieces, Holly and Hannah. They are a Florida bunch, so they are accustomed to the heat. But the Nashville weather we suffered while they were here really took them by surprise. It was hot, hot, hot, and dry, dry, dry. Nevertheless, we packed our agenda full of good stuff and just thoroughly enjoyed our visit with the Browns from outta town.

We enjoyed a morning at Monkey Joe's (sadly I forgot my camera that day). We went to a couple matinee movies and worked our way through all the Harry Potter movies each night. We went to the lake. The kids played in the pool and sprinklers daily. Josh took his parents to an Amish market he recently discovered on his travels. There were a number of short shopping trips. We also hit the zoo - or did it hit us - we don't remember - we were wiped out by the heat! The only other big hitter of their week with us, for me, was watching in awe how many cokes my nieces could down in a day and how much popcorn was consumed by all. No family get together is complete without a heavy dose of coke and a truck load of popcorn, I say! And ice cream. Ice cream is a must, too. :)


Without question, though, the best part of the week was Noah's delight at being with his cousins day in and day out. Holly and Hannah were good company and the boy is counting down til he sees them again at Christmas.
