This summer, my niece Ali came and stayed with us for a few weeks. We were mutually helping each other-- her dad was having surgery (again) out of state and they didn't want to leave any of the kids home alone, and I am getting to the point in my pregnancy where I really need to take it easy.
On the drive to Pueblo to pick her up, we were able to stop by and visit my Grandma who had knee surgery about a week before. She was moving and walking around, but she was having a lot of swelling in her leg and was still at the rehab facility. Grandma made it home soon after we saw her, though.
We were also able to be there for my other niece, Samantha's surprise 15th birthday party. How fun. It is amazing that those kids are getting that old!!! It was good to see them all and spend a little time together.
I had Ali help out a lot while she was here, but we had some fun times, too. She and Rebecca went and saw the Ramona and Beezus movie.
She got to go rollerskating for the first time in many years. It wasn't so easy to pick it up again...
She went swimming with the kids multiple times. They played outside in the water as well. The kids wanted to get out the water balloons, but they hardly let Ali fill the balloons before breaking them on her!
We all went horseback riding at a family from church's farm one evening. Ali was thrilled about that because she loves horses.
We had a fun time with Ali and enjoyed getting to know her better.
