Fabulous Weekend Stay at Ben & Stacey's

A big thanks to our wonderful hosts, BenStacey, as Myles calls them. Where to begin?
We left Friday morning, shooting for nine but our actual departure time was ten. We had a fun, short drive which consisted of Pringles, red vines, water and seeing our State capitol building from a distance. We spent most of our time just hanging out and visiting, which was absolutely wonderful. The kids got to go swimming twice and were in heaven. Myles actually went on the big potty several times. He actually asked to go potty and did it! Yeah Myles! I think there was something magical about Ben and Stacey's bathroom because he doesn't want to have anything to with ours at home. Perhaps it was the fan that he kept called "mocycle". He also was seen trying to feed their TV. I think because it is so big and the people looked huge that he felt they might be in need of some nourishment.
Great family, great food, what more could we ask for?
We drove back yesterday and after a couple of minutes in the car, Myles was asking where BenStacey was and wanted to go back. We hated to leave, but vow to be back again and soon :)
Here are some pictures from our visit this weekend.

Time for a swim.

Just lounging around.

They got us a cake in celebration of our visit. It's a joke,
so don't try and get saying on it.

Here Myles is with Stacey's kitty.
He was absolutely in love with it.

I know I promised a picture of our new addition, but unfortunately we have not had a very good week trying to get the stove installed. Sears has absolutely been horrible to deal with and so, we are returning it. The stove has been sitting out in our garage for a week now. We are hereby boycotting Sears. Our mission this week is to find a new stove.

Wishing you all a cheery week.
