July 9th & 10th

Uncle Bill at the kids' table

For a very special summer treat, Uncle Bill and Aunt Kathy came to visit, along with Lori and David. At long last we got to meet Reagan and Baby Harper, and the best part is that Lori, David and those two lovely girls of theirs stayed at our house, meaning lots of play time!

Baby Harper

Lori and David arrived at approximately 10:00am on Thursday, having left the NOVA area at midnight (and after having attended a Kid Rock concert. Those crazy kids!). We loved spending all day with Reagan and Harper and then heading over to Gran and Poppa's for a family feast of barbecue.

Friday morning, we decided to take all five of our monkeys to the zoo. We were not at all deterred by the heat. We saw the elephants, monkeys, and rhinos before grabbing a quick lunch. Then we fed the giraffes, saw the lions and then made our way back home when we started melting from the heat.

After recovering from the zoo, we went back to Gran and Poppa's for a birthday dinner and celebration for Riley, who turned 14 on July 13th.  In addition to a fantastic dinner of steak and salmon, Gran served a delicious homemade red velvet cake.

After visiting and feasting like kings, we called it a night and came home. Many thanks to Ralph and Sally, and the best and happiest birthday wishes to Riley!
