I is for Ian

We were really lucky to have Ian come and visit from Canada. The boys were so excited to have him here. They all really wanted to go to the aquarium so that is where we went first.

The boys waiting to drive the boat

First Ian

Then Spencer

A favorite was the Jelly Fish

Of Course James loved Nemo

No one was too sure about touching the Sting Rays

How about touching the Star Fish?

Not so much

Brynlee Was happy

When we were done at the aquarium we were off to get Cookies

Ian is like a big brother to my boys. He was teaching Spencer how to spell his name.... I-A-N. He also taught Spencer how to play some hockey. It was a great weekend. Ian was being picked up late and when we told Spencer to say goodbye he got really sad. He didn't cry but he was holding back his tears. it totally broke my heart. I had to let Spencer stay up until Ian left. We miss the Pillings SO much! We hope he can come back again soon. Spencer is anxious to go to Canada again too. We are hoping to get lots of visitors from up north as well take a trip up there soon. Thanks for coming to play Ian. We love you :)

I am so glad they got to have him come and stay! I am sure that Spence must've loved that nothing but cousin time! We gotta get together asap too!
