Beckie's family came and stayed with us this weekend and we had a great time. They drove up from San Diego and got here at about 8:00 on Friday night. After the kids got their wiggles out we burned through a Costco box of fireworks in the back yard while the kids played with sparklers.
Here are the kids begging for sparklers and pop-its...
I couldn't resist this pic of catching Abby at the right moment...
After fireworks, we headed back inside and the kids started playing Wii... I don't think Jack liked Alli so much...
We finally got the kids to bed at about 1:30 am and the adults stayed up playing Wii and games until 3:30 am. Unfortunately Abby woke everyone up at 7:00 am so we were running on no sleep for a long day ahead...
After getting everybody ready, we headed off for the lake to do some tubing and wakeboarding. Unfortunately I forgot my camera and Beckie's camera battery died but we were able to get a few pictures before her battery died and we used Crhis's cell phone for a few others...
Here is our brave Alli trying to convince the other kids to jump in the water...
Here is Kaylin and Justin riding on the tube. Justin told me today that Kaylin said he was her new boyfriend... :)
And the picture you've all been waiting for... I dragged Beckie out on the tube and we had a great time. She was hanging on for dear life at the end but thankfully Chris was nice and didn't try and throw us off.
Once we were done at the lake we went home and had some yummy fish tacos. played some more and put the kids to bed. We were exhausted so we played Wii again for a little while and went to bed ourselves.
They headed out of here this morning for their long drive to Denver... We had a great time though and the kids are already asking when they are going to come back!

How fun to have a friend come out to visit. Glad you guys had a great time.
Wow, when can we come crash at your house? You guys sure know how to entertain.
About the derby tickets. Start asking around in May. You have to purchase them early. This year I simply filled out a form and mailed it in (first year they offered this, and it was the best). Tickets showed up in my mail a week later. Easy as pie!
Looks like you guys all had so much fun. The picture of all the kids together is cute. It is certainly a couch full:)
