Our great friends from Des Moines, the Hilliard's, joined us this past weekend for some fun. The last few years, we have been lucky enough to have them take a few days and drive down to spend some time around Memorial Day weekend with us. This year was no exception! The biggest bummer though was that Latsamy couldn't join us. She was sick with a really bad cold/cough, so she rested at home while Mark and the girls (Elizabeth and Catherine) joined us.
They arrived Thursday afternoon, and immediately Daniel loved playing and running around with the girls, especially Elizabeth. Elizabeth even told me, "Daniel is a lot more fun this year." ;) We ate dinner, played some more, and then it was off to bed for a full day of excitement on Friday.
On Friday, we visited Paradise Park, one of Daniel's favorite places, and I imagine after this visit, the girls a favorite of the girls as well:

On Saturday, Bobby was able to join us - yay! We headed off to the zoo. It was a little chilly, but that's my favorite kind of weather.

| Bobby caught Daniel touching/playing with Leslie's hair - so cute! |
 |
| Daniel wanted to ride the Sky Safari for the first time! This is pretty big considering he's usually very timid about trying new things. He loved it! He kept calling it the "Solar System" ride. |

Saturday evening we went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, and then headed home for the typical evening routine.
Sunday morning arrived and we spent a few hours together. Then it was time for them to head home. But not without a few pictures of our kiddos:
Thanks for visiting Hilliard Family! We missed Latsamy, but know we'll see you all again soon!
