Kyle's mom, Dee Ann, and his sister, Melanie, and her family were able to come this weekend. Kate and Preston were feeling better, phew, except Kate ended up throwing up Saturday night so I hope Melanie's kids don't get sick! We ended up going to the Children's Museum in the morning. All the kids LOVED it and it wore them out, which is always nice. Then Dee Ann, Melanie and I had a fun shopping spree (books, clothes and more books!) while the kids napped and the men watched an exciting football game. Then, we ventured to Old Spaghetti Factory which is usually kid friendly, but after waiting for almost an hour we wanted to scream! It wasn't a pleasant experience so we were all wondering why we chose to go out for dinner. :) After tucking all the kids in various rooms throughout our house Melanie did my hair, Dee Ann did her homework (ha!) and the men watched a movie.
Melanie and I at the musuem in the "glow room". I was scared by how my blonde hair looked and our teeth were horrific looking.
Kathryn and Kate "acting" in the theater. You all missed the performance, maybe next time. It was sold out. :)
The kids driving a metro bus- scary!
Preston backing up the good ol' tractor (it's not green, I know!)
Kate doing a funny cross-eyed face 
Preston was about to fall asleep during lunch after the museum. It was cute how he rested his head on his tray, but kept eating his lunch.
I thought Kate liked pickles, but I saw Melanie drinking this tinted water and found out it was pickle juice!!! I have never seen anyone DRINK pickle juice so I had to take a picture. Ewwww! Melanie was surprised I had never seen anyone drink it before and so we had a good laugh about it.

How Fun! I haven't ever heard of anyone drinking pickle juice either - I can't say I've ever wanted to!
Melanie sad you guys had fun and all survived. Now their are pictures to prove it! All the kids are adorable.
Mel, as for the pickle juice...not so sure. I knew you did this but have never witnessed it. I love pickles so I may have to try the juice!
I meant said not sad!
Your poor kids...do they always throw up? I should knock on wood because you know what will happen over here next, right? Looks like fun. Wish we had more things like that to do here. And the pickle juice made me gag. Pickles are meant to eat, not drink. :)
Wow, no one loves pickle juice. Such a shame, it's good!
We had such a fun time. I had to wake Nathan up for school today and that was after sleeping the whole way home last night! Thanks for hosting our crazy (large) crew. Cousin time is the best. And if our shopping were about 4 hours longer.....
Looks like a fun time! Pickle juice- seriously Mel- that is weird. My husband drinks the pear juice from canned pears- it grosses me out too. Way too sugary!
How fun to go to the museum and all. I would not have made it through the hour wait and then dinner on top of that. And no on the pickle juice. interesting!
I am impressed with Kate! I can't do that with my eyes!
I do like the glowing hair!
How fun!! That looks like a lot of fun. Love the dark room at the museum picture :) I hope the kids are feeling better now.
