Sintay visitors

Ryan's sister Erin and her family made a trek out West to visit family, and included us in the visit. YEAH! It was so much fun to see them for a couple of days, and especially to play with Miriam and Marcus and Amelia!
Miriam LOVED climbing in our backyard in one of our apple trees. I couldn't BELIEVE how high up she could get. She was a VERY big climber. And Marcus loved the apples because they were just his size :)

Here are our first pictures of little Amelia. I promise she did smile on occasion :) but mostly it was just the dead stare :)

This was the first chance Ryan to got hold little Amelia. She was SO cute. Plus, she had very cute smiles, and she didn't cry when we held her :)

After dinner, we did some serious playing of Fireball Island. I'm not sure any of you have ever heard of it, but it was Ryan's FAVORITE game when he was little, and he bought it on e-bay awhile ago...ever since then, whenever anyone visits our home for the first time, it's part of the initiation to play.
Playing Fireball Island was very fun for Miriam and Marcus. I'm not sure what pose Marcus is trying to do, but apparently, maybe dancing?
