Visit from Uncle Bill

I've been trying to get these posted for a week now, and I keep getting distracted! OK, I'm just going to POST THEM! Here are a hodge podge of pictures from teh weekend of June 6th, when Bill came in from California for a wedding in Richmond. My Mom and the Swartz family came up from North Carolina and we had a little family reunion!

Billy and Lauren work on the PVC pipe that Bill was using to take some fishing poles with him back to California.


Lauren watches Bill draw a fish on the side.

If this whole Cisco thing doesn't work out, Matt has the Harlem Globetrotter thing going on.

Christie and I entitled this one "The grass is always greener!!"

Lauren and I getting on the Sky Ride ... yes, she rode it TWICE!

Bill encouraging Kyla to feed the giraffe ... see Kyla? It's totally safe!


Uh oh!!! Love Kyla's expression with her tongue out, too. Afterwards we thought she'd cry but she just said "That tickles!"

Beautiful baby Megan and Alicia

This made us laugh. How cruel to put the cheetahs right on the other side of the fence from their natural prey, the zebra? And the zebra doesn't seem worried at ALL!!

VERY fun weekend!!
