Surprise!

We had a surprise visitor this past weekend. My sister flew in from Colorado to surprise Benjamin and me. We were so excited! Friday night she showed up at a musical Jonathan and I were going to. (Jonathan had dropped her off right before he picked me up.) I was shocked! All weekend Benjamin kept saying, "Aunt Rachel's here." He'd have a huge grin on his face while he said it. He's a little depressed since she left. Tonight he wanted to check outside, in case Aunt Rachel might be here. He keeps saying, "Aunt Rachel's not here yet."


Saturday afternoon we went for a hike at a state park.

Benjamin spent about half the time in the backpack, and the other half walking.

Benjamin was fascinated by this puppet!

Thanks for the great surprise, Aunt Rachel!
