The only meal "on our own" over the special three-day weekend was Saturday lunch (all other meals were provided) so it was fun to plan a "Cars" themed family birthday party to celebrate the May/June/July family birthdays - Uncle Mike, Jay, Cousin Alex, David, and Cousin Josh.
Here are pictures of the 4 cousins playing together with Alex and Josh's "Cars" collection prior to lunch. How perfect - in the "theme" already!

(We thought it was funny that David liked playing with his feet and legs under the end of the bed.)

Our weekend there ended on a bit of an abrupt down note. Mommy/me/Mindy came down with the signs/symptoms of Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease. (Jay had it early that week and I probably caught it when I was comforting him Tuesday night.) In order to not give greater exposure to family, we hightailed it out of there Sunday morning driving straight back home. (Our initial plan attend the conference through Monday afternoon, spend Monday night in Oregon at Matt's parents, driving back home Tuesday morning to avoid the holiday traffic.) Praise the Lord - neither Matt or David caught it. We continue to pray that Jay and I didn't spread it to any others.
