But one of my most favorite fellow square pegs is my sister in law Karen. She is the mother of three awesome kids who X-man refers to as Naynay, Sumal and Ellex. She is also married to MacTroll's oldest brother. And boy, do we all like to just hang out. We eat too much, play too much and just have a great time.
Today we hung out at the house when they got here and had lunch. Then we walked to the park, where Rogers dropped off Curious J while she went to see someone about her inability to get a root canal job that doesn't get infected (I feel really badly about this. Seriously. Once is enough, and now she's on 3!).
Then we walked back home, had some drinks and got in the car and headed over to Curtis Apple Orchard. Sure, it's too early to have apples, but the kids got to pet kittens and do a maze and feed some goats and have some apple sippers.
Then we came back for more playing and grilled out dinner. I love summers like this. Where kids get to swim in the pool (or in our case the hot tub) until it's time to shower and go to bed.
Amazingly, X-man was down by 8:30 p.m. with only one episode of Bob the Builder.
I think his cousins just wore him down. :-) Sorry, about the fuzzy photo. MacTroll's old iPhone doesn't have an exceptional camera.

So sweet!
I love it when family visits are fun and easy! :)
Boy, have they grown!!! Glad you're enjoying some family time. After Rolla, you more than deserve it :) Enjoy hanging out with them. Hope the rest of the visit and Peoria go well.
Anybody in need of a dentist should see my step-dad, Dr. Larry Tschopp (his practice is in Savoy). He's awesome (he was an engineer before he entered dental school, which tells you how thorough he is). And he's very gentle.
