Visiting with family and friends

We had several visits in the last couple of months from Matt's family--his parents, nephew Jacob, and sister Sarah with her girls Dayna, Cassy, and Iris.  We had such a blast.  I did not snap many photos, but here a few moments I managed to capture. 

Aunt Sarah, Ramsey, and Iris on the indoor train in Tyson's Corner.  

Playing in Ikea.  These girls loved this simple slide that wasn't even in the "official" play area.

Ramsey and Beck cuddled right in with Jacob.  He was such a pleasure to have here!  

"Grandpa, let's read books!" (times 10)

Library time!  This was a wonderful, quiet, and brief moment.  Shortly after this pic was taken, Beck ran around and Grandpa took a tiny nap while Ramsey held the book.  Sorry I didn't capture that!

Dinner at California Tortilla with Ramsey's best friend, Mikenna.  So, they are not technically family, but Ramsey considers Mikenna family and refers to Mikenna as her sister.  So, she had to be included.

The kids gazing into the toy store window (Baron, Beck, Mikenna, Ramsey).  Jen (Mikenna's mom) was very wise and suggested we NOT go into the store.  They weren't asking, so why suggest going in?
