Heslop Invasion

 We call the weekend each year that we visit my aunt and uncle the Heslop Invasion because adding 6 people to a house that is usually occupied by 2 people does feel like an invasion! 

Our trip started very slowly. We left our house at 10am, drove 40 minutes to Cambridge, sat in stand still road work traffic outside Cambridge for 90 minutes and then ate lunch at Chick Fil A in Cambridge. I was the driver for the day and was pretty annoyed. We arrived at 7pm instead of 5:00, but Jeremy got a full day of work in from the car and we were safe so all was well. 

We spent lots of time around the table. Some playing games, some just watching and talking. Aliza and Jeremy got to tell Dan and Laurie all about their trip to India--exactly a year later from when they were in India. 

Saturday was sunny with perfectly clear, blue sky and comfortable temperatures. We took a walk. Isaiah thought it was a very long walk.

Took this priceless progression of pictures with Anna and Aliza.

Sat on a big rock overlooking a pond where I kept worrying that Isaiah was going to somehow manage to fall into the water. He didn't.

And then most of us played a round a disc golf. A highlight for Josiah!

Before we knew it, it was time to wake up early (for us) to get on the road to home Sunday morning. We wanted to get home in time to attend our youth pastor's ordination service. And we made it! Thankfully we did not have any traffic slowdowns on the way home.
