Weekend Fun

My sister Susan and niece Tori came to visit this past weekend and bring Kelsey back home (she has been visiting in Utah with them for the past few weeks).  Although they only stayed for a few days we tried to squeeze in as much fun as possible.  We spent a day up to Lake Tahoe and had a picnic on the beach.  The water wasn't too cold, but it was windy!

Tori and Kelsey had fun walking the beach and looking for treasures.  These two really do wish they were sisters.

The beach also had a playground which was perfect for Chase and Sadi.  They were entertained all day between the playground and building sand castles. 
We spent one day kind of lounging around but did manage to fit in a craft project.  Susan needed some stick horses for a party and I found this image for horses made out of pool noodles...how cute are these?  She made Chase and Sadi one of their own, and they rode these ponies all afternoon.

They were also able to be here for Matt's birthday.  We spent all day shopping and then went to lunch.  Matt had a work meeting later in the day so when he was done we barbecued and ended with his favorite...carrot cake! 

Kelsey left the day after she got home for a Key Club conference in California so she missed out on most of their time here.  Chase and Sadi tried to convince them to just "call in sick" to their jobs and stay longer but alas all too soon it was time for them to go home...boo!
