The Studley's visit

Amy, Nicholas and Zachary Studley came to visit us for a few days from June 21 to June 23, 2010. We haven't seen each other since November but it was like we see each other every day, even the boys were up to their old tricks. The four boys were running crazy the entire time. They came with us to swimming lessons, played endlessly and didn't sleep very much. Our big outing was going to Livy Lou's and Goldwater Lake in an afternoon. We took the boys crawdad fishing but first made them endure some shopping at Livy Lou's. Amy found some cute clothes and I got her hooked. The boys had a great time in the lake. Nicholas was in up to his waist. We caught several crawdads and even briefly lost half the crawdad trap at the bottom of the lake. Thank you to the anonymous guys who showed up at just the right time with a fishing pole and hooked it for me or it would still be there.

After we got back from the lake and stuffed our kids with Taco Bell, they went crazy. They started a big, noisy wrestling/running match that lasted a good hour. It was pure insanity and so hilarious. I've never seen so many boys in a pile and making so much noise.

In the last minutes of their visit, as Amy was loading up the car, the boys pulled out the Play-doh and had a good time even in their last minutes. I love watching all four boys together. They play so well together and are nice and close in age. It's perfect.
