April 2012: The Ensz Family Visit!

Mike's Mennonite cousins, Trista and Jamon Ensz from Bonners Ferry Idaho paid us a visit during their spring break. They drove to Kansas first to visit relatives there, and then to Albuquerque to see Jamon's sister, Jennifer. They stayed with us for a few days, and we all had a wonderful time together.

 Mike and I babysat the girls one day while the grownups went out together
Here is big sister Gretchen with baby sister Olivia

 Gretchen tries out the playground equipment at the park

 Natalie looks apprehensive about going down the slide!

 I think the swings are more her speed!

Natalie loved playing in the sand under the shade
and building sand castles

Gretchen and her sisters were wonderful and so much fun

Olivia slides down the indoor slide at a McDonald's play area
 Here comes Gretchen, belly down!

Gretchen and Olivia having fun together

Gretchen tries out another slide

Look at Olivia's static and her beautiful, happy smile!

Gretchen and Olivia full of static and smiles

Natalie slides down sideways

Gretchen and Olivia can't seem to get enough!

They're ELECTRIC!

Sunburned cheeks and nose and ice cream lips on Olivia
