Visit from Family

In the beginning of September, we enjoyed having Elvin & Lena and their kids spend a few days with us.  It’s always fun to have friends and family come and spend some time with us in the south.  We made the most of the short time they were here with us.

One day we took a picnic lunch to the park.  A great place to relax while the children ran off to play on the merry-go-round and splash in the creek.

We made a trip to Down-Town Birmingham to visit “The Vulcan.”  It’s the World’s largest cast-iron statue.  That’s what you see towering over the children’s heads in picture above.

After coming down from climbing the “tower” the children had fun running down a grassy hill.  Nice green grass is something that we don’t see much of in the south- it makes us miss the nice lawns in PA.

The kids had a great time with their cousins.  Thanks Elvin and Lena for making the trip to come see us!  Don’t wait too long to come again!
