While Matt and Emily were here, we took them to a local National Night Out event. (The boys oblige mom for a stand-by-the-firetruck picture. Clearly, they were thrilled.)
Brian and I seriously love this event as it's a free community event, especially for families. The first year we did it, I was pregnant with Bennett. The second year we did it, I was simultaneously tube-feeding Bennett. This year, he was a ever-so-normal little boy!
I love how Emily took a picture of what I was doing during most the event: taking pictures.
This year, Oliver really enjoyed looking inside the helicopter.
Daddy always enjoys the combat police booth.
The one thing we appreciate most about this event is the amount of free water and cold sodas given out. This event is held every July and it's hot. This year, it was so hot the tar was melting in the parking lot as we walked around the booths.
Bennett really enjoyed the event, particularly all of the free goodies he went home with. In our little sleepy town, it's awfully fun to attend this annual event.
Each night, while Matt and Emily were here, and after the kids went to bed, we always pulled out our favorite trusty game, "The Bean Game." This was our favorite game to play when we all lived post-college in Missouri. And still, Matt and Emily, are our favorite partners to play with.
It brings out our competitiveness...
Since Matt and Emily were willing to just come to hang out during a "day in the life" with the Gamels, Emily found herself helping us out in a pinch and watching Bennett during Oliver's play therapy appointment.
This is proof that Bennett had fun with her.
Who doesn't love iphone camera kisses? We love you, Matt and Emily! Welcome back to living in the Central Time Zone!
