Jordan is excited to see her Grandpa when we arrived Thursday night.
Friday, our first full day at Sun Lakes, we went for a walk around the greens and lakes. Katelyn LOVED the ducks. She is sitting on the side of the lake calling to them.

Back at Grandpa's house picking oranges off the tree...
Later in the day, the girls are all excited to see their Great-Uncle, Mommy's Uncle Lonnie.
The girls swimming with their Great-Aunt, Aunt Nancy. She was so great to the girls the whole entire weekend. Aunt Nancy has 12 grandkids of her own and was so loving to my girls. They loved her.
After swimming, Jordan fell asleep on her Grandpa back at his house.
Friday night, we went back over to Aunt Nancy and Uncle Hal's house for dinner. Aunt Nancy gave both girls a gift. Here the girls are opening one of the boxes.
They got doll clothes!! Aunt Nancy made each girl 6 beautiful outfits for their dolls. The girls were so excited (so was Mommy!!). I asked my Aunt about the clothes and, she said it was time consuming to make them but she loved doing it. I was so thrilled that she did this for my girls. This is something I will keep forever for them and they will know their Aunt Nancy made these with love for them. Thank you Aunt Nancy!!

Uncle Lonnie playing with Katelyn and Jordan. They loved it! Uncle Lonnie is always so great with the kids.
Saturday, the girls had a wrestling match with Grandpa on his living room floor. Poor Grandpa! They kept bouncing on top of him.
The cutest darn thing -- I told Katelyn to be careful of the cactus. I told her they were sharp and "ouch" if she touched them. She suddenly started calling cactus - "Bite You's." Everywhere we went and when she would see one, she would say "Look, Bite You". Jill, Grandpa and I got several good laughs throughout the weekend when she would say it.

All the cousins eating yet another wonderful dinner cooked by my Aunt Nancy at her house.
Luke, Faith, Ethan, Katelyn, and Eli watching something on TV. Katelyn loved being with the cousins and thought she was a big girl being with them. I saw Ethan at one point pulling her up on the couch and having her sit by him. He was so good to both girls.
