Joseph is Home!

My brother Joseph got back from his mission last week, and my parents flew my sister Sheri and her family out to visit too!  Lucas was in heaven with all the family to play with.  This was also our first time meeting our nephew Connor.  They all came up to visit us on Thursday.  We spent some time outside in the pool.

Scott dipped his feet in for a bit.

Even Connor joined in on the fun.  I think Dallin was the biggest fan of the pool, and he was the last one to get out.

We went inside to play and watch a movie.  Lucas got attached to Joseph almost from the get go.  Joseph played catch with him and tickled him.  Lucas is now obsessed with Uncle Joseph and asks to play with him every day.

 All the kids saw Lucas climb on Joseph and they wanted to join in.

And here are the 4 cousins.  We had almost all the boy cousins in the family right here, we're just missing Madoc.

 On Saturday we went to the Golden Gate Children's Park.  Lucas still loved the slides.

 And he had to ride down with Joseph a couple times.

Last time we came, Lucas was a little hesitant on some of the toys.  Now almost a year later, he was all over the place and climbing on everything.  We have quite the little monkey on our hands.  After the playground we rode the carousel.

I wasn't as good at getting pictures of everyone at the park, but my dad took a lot more pictures so you'll have to check his blog for pictures of all the kids on the carousel.

The next day we went to church with my parents to hear Joseph's homecoming talk.  Here's Lucas and daddy eating breakfast before we left.  This picture cracks me up!

We went to a luncheon with almost all of my California family after church.  There was yummy food, and good company.  Lucas and Dallin had so much fun playing together.  We're really going to miss them.

 At least Lucas will have Joseph to play with all summer.
