Who is Chris?

Chris came and visited us for a week and what a fun, adventurous week it was!  He and Eric went to Tombstone, did serious hiking, and sight seeing around the area.  On Thursday, we all got to go hiking again.  We all became friends at college.  Note the guys are both wearing University of Northern Iowa shirts.

 On our hike, I couldn't resist this picture, melt my heart.

 I love catching these moments!

Chris is CJ's Godfather.  It was great to see them spend some time together.

Sweetness claimed a hold on him as well.

 As we waited for the group to catch up, she wiggled her way between Chris and his fancy camera.  Chris held the camera to ensure it didn't drop, but she got some great shots.  He didn't mind and had great patience with all the kids, all week. ~ Thank you.

I couldn't get a good shot of the 3 to 1 wrestling matches that happened, or the many games of ding dong.  I should have taken pictures of him cutting out the family of monkeys that CJ made --only 12 or 15 of them.  I am sure he is enjoying being home in is his quiet house in his own bed.  However, I know that not only did he enjoy his time here, he will miss having so much activity and noise at times too.  The kids loved having him around, and Eric and I enjoyed catching up with our dear friend.  Now Chris, don't be a stranger!  Come on back anytime!
