Does That Kid Ever Sleep!?!?!

This last weekend we got an extended visit from Michelle, Chris, & Jackson so they could meet Rohan and give him lots of hugs-n-snugs. It was amazing to see how much energy Jackson has! The kid is always moving, sometime linearly, sometime tangently, but always in some sort of motion. With all the commotion, trips to the park, walks, and play time, I think he only napped for 30 minutes and then was back at it. A chilling vision of things to come for us...:)
It was great to have the Stokes' visit, and make the 9+ hour drive with a 20 month old. We had some quick face time before bed early Sat. morning, which I think threw off everyone's circadian rhythms. We had a nice walk on Saturday, in to a brisk wind, to Truman and around Kirskville's square. It was really nice to get out and enjoy a lot of the day, and the Northerner's really liked the lack of snow...:) Rohan let Jackson ride in his stroller while he was snuggled in with Mara in the sling Tim & Allison got for us. He weathered the 2 hour walk very well, as did Jackson. I'm sure Chris & Michelle wanted to stretch their legs after a long car ride and bed.
We had a lot of fun at the park as well. Some of the equipment was meant for kids, but Michelle and I had to make sure the swings & zip lines were safe for the older kids...:)
Everyone got a chance to workout as well. Since we had the 2 kids & 4 dogs we went in shifts. Mara and Michelle went to run and lift, then Chris and I went for some marathon games of racquetball. We had some difficulties deciding where to eat on Sunday (mostly Mara & Michelle's fault...:P). We ended up with some pretty unique combinations between us all. Taco Pizza, Sushi, and Egg Whites. I guess that constitutes a well balanced dinner...
A lot of the pictures & some videos are duplicated on Shell's Blog, but just so nothing is left out, I included all of them here. Enjoy!

We had a blast with the Stokes Family! Even a long weekend seemed to short of a time to catch up, B.S., and relax. We'll have plenty of time to talk when they ride with us down to Phoenix this summer...:)
