Visiting with the Squirrelys

All the Squirrelys and their families met up this past weekend for an enjoyable visit! Some of us had not seen one another in over a year!

Everyone should have a hat when traveling :)

Mr. Keith waiting for his food. For lunch we went to Earth Food, a supermarket that sells more organic, natural food than your average grocery store (think Whole Foods type). They have a food bar where you can pick almost any type of healthy food you might fancy.

My turkey-cranberry-Gouda cheese panini with berry smoothie was quite delectable!


Drama at the lunch table :D

Chuck and Kaitlin...a sweet couple

Darlings Chloe, Sam, and Devin. It has been way too long since a picture of y'all's lovely faces have been posted on this blog!

Devin's beloved purse that she had for several years and that Katie and I helped pick finally gave out....it's strap broke :( I can't wait to see your new one, dearie!

Charlie delighted all of us with his smiles :)

Needless to say, everyone was itching to have a turn holding Charlie. He was a good sport about it, too :)

He brings such joy

The Squirrelys' Daddies

Mr. Keith and his Grandson

On our way to the cooking store

With the way Chuck looks in a chef hat, I think he could compete in Iron Chef America on the food network! :)

"Which cheese knife is better?"

"What cute little tongs!"

Movie shopping at Border's. Nothing worth buying.

Smiles

Mr. Bob and Daddy

Visiting everywhere we go!

Stephen bought his wife a mocha

Mamma Diane, Sam, and I sharing a chair

Back at the hotel. "Look what I got at Border's!"

Eating dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant

Katie getting practice putting baby boys to sleep :) (yes, Stephen and Katie are having a boy!!!! We are thrilled!)

Dessert at Bruster's

Waiting in line with friends makes it much more fun :)

Mmmm! Ice cream!

Katie has really doubled her portions since she's eating for two now :D Just kidding....she was holding Stephen's ice cream in addition to her own!

All done with dessert

A round of Taboo

Stephen intently making sure Chuck does not cheat :)

My parents

Everyone got to take turns with the taboo buzzer, and we were all more than delighted when we got to use it :)

A very ecstatic Auntie with her nephew

Food prep and stories

Devin fixing her BBQ sandwich....it was so tasty!

Mumzie and Daddy enjoying Charlie

After lunch almost everyone left, so we had a very pleasant afternoon and evening spent with those remaining... Mr. Bob, Mrs. Renee, Sam and Chloe! We all decided to go for an evening stroll and shared many laughs

Walking around businesses after hours can be rather interesting :)

The late night owls had some scrumptious snacks accompanied with sweet fellowship

Sam

Mrs. Renee, Sam, and Chloe got Mr. Bob one of those chef hats that you saw earlier on Chuck, and he was finding some very interesting, out-of-the ordinary ways of wearing it!

Amused

I think this was my favorite style :)

Ahhh...what a fun trip! "Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of a friend" Proverbs 27:17

How true! It was so refreshing spending time with dear friends!

So long for now,
