Ben and Summer come for a visit

My brother Ben lives in Japan with his wife Summer and their two little girls.  They come for a visit when they can but so far it's been every year!

They were coming for an extended visit and stayed with us for almost 3 weeks until we all met back up in Ohio for our Lewis reunion.

We were SO GRATEFUL that they would become the temporary parents of 6 so that Stephen and I could steal away for a few days to Boston.

Our children stayed busy and happy....

Blanket tent on the stairs, dress up parties as princesses

Playing at the splash fountains at the Villages at Fairview complete with milkshakes from the Purple Cow--can you imagine the looks this crew got with all these little ones?!  Ben and Summer are such troopers.


We did lots of things (more posts later) but I HAD to include these great photos that will be perfect for blackmail later....

I think Ellie and Matthew as princesses together was one of my favorite moments.
