Newton/Epp visit

Mark it down in the books – another awesome visit by the Epp and Newton families and this one at the same time!  The house held all 13 of us just perfectly in my opinion.  There were lots of giggles, silly games, bull riding (thanks to the Newton’s fun new gift), reading, swimming, chips and salsa, Duck doughnuts, and horror movies with Isley (after the littles went to bed)! Can’t wait until next year to do it again!  Thanks for making the long trip here to visit us – we’re so spoiled to have you come to us!

These girls are just too fabulous. Brek (quietly hilarious), Isley (wise beyond her years in so many wonderful ways), and Maelle (braver than she advertises).  They would eat, swim, read, go to Target (which Athens, OH does not have) and repeat all weekend. Love them!

The Kennedys came over so Scott gave a tractor ride for the littles…and Dave. Scott was even more excited than they were!

And at the end of the weekend, Malone and Trey made a late night (due to many delays) trip home.  Sweet babies!

Aiden’s teacher this year, Mrs. Hicks, didn’t really send out any photos of their class, so I took this random one of him during the class party.  It’s a weak effort, I know, but it’s all I got! At least his team won the hula hoop challenge. FA7C4CAB-6047-4D2D-BA1A-6276DBEB182A
