The Esco's visit!

During the middle of July, my cousin Ashlie and 3 out of her 4 kids were able to fly into SLC and spend a week with us!  They came all the way from Boston and we just absolutely love when we get to see them!

They came in on Thursday night.  On Friday night, we decided to go to a Bee's baseball game.  It was a great night - the ballpark wasn't super crowded and we sat in the shade.  My mom (and later Mike & Mandy) also came!

Hailey loves the Bee and gets excited every time she sees it.

 Max (almost 15), Emily (14), Hailey (3), Hannah (almost 6), the Bee (age unknown), Kate (8), Abby (13), & Tom (10).  (Lindsey was at a birthday party and Jack was there at the game too but had gone with a friend.  Jon was at work).

 It filled in a little more than this - but it was wonderful!

 These two were angels - they were happy to just play with this My Little Pony book and then eat treats.

 Kate knows how to relax at a game :)

 My mom was so sweet and bought all the kids a treat.  Hannah wanted an icecream cone and came back with this!

We loved spending the days with Ashlie & the kids.  On Monday morning, she drove Max, Abby, Emily & Lindsey down to BYU so they could attend sports camps.  (Max did baseball, Abby did volleyball & my girls did soccer).  

While they were gone, we went to a movie, we went to the float preview to see the 24th of July floats, we spent an evening at the zoo with Meg, and Tom & Jack just played and played.

The girls got home on Thursday (July 24th) just in time for a big family BBQ - which included a taffy pull.  I wish I had gotten more pictures!

I'm working on convincing the Esco's to just move to Utah and be our next door neighbors!  They are so, so wonderful!
