Fun Weekend with the Gustavsen Family

 Ingeborg's parents were having a vacation in California and Ingeborg had to come here to start school....so they took the weekend and drove over from LA to meet our family.  Ingeborg's 2 sisters stayed at our house and her parents stayed in a hotel close to our house.  They were only here for 2 days so we crammed in a lot of fun!  They are from Norway but their English is very good.  They are a very active family and like to have fun!  They arrived on Friday afternoon, we visited and ate a good dinner then went out.  All the girls have been in gymnastics so we thought it would be fun to take them to Airworx in Chandler....it's a place with huge trampolines. After working up a sweat we took them to Coldstone Creamery, the best ice cream in town!
 Saturday we took them to Canyon Lake.  It was busy with lots of people but we had a picnic lunch and stayed cool in the water.  We all had a great time!  Alydia really liked Johanna and Synova her sisters.

 Anden loved the water!  We put an infant life jacket on him and he just layed on his back and relaxed in the water.  Aaron and Christen and their girls came along so we had lots of fun and laughs.

 This is the family from Norway.  Knut, Ingeborg, Synova, Johanna and Marit (I hope I spelled them right)

 After the fun at the Lake we went home and showered and got ready for a fun night.  We left the 2 youngest home with a babysitter and went to Rawhide.  We went to the steakhouse for dinner.  They had live western music and the kids could dance.  The food was good and the company was great.
 The kids doing their favorite thing....Dancing!

 We threw the kids in jail

 Sunday morning they made us yummy Norwegian Pancakes....they wer big and thin like crepes, we put whipped cream and strawberries inside.
 For Sunday dinner we had the Pratt's and the Hunsakers over along with the Gustavsen family so we had quite the party! 

 Ingeborg was showing us a book of her pictures.
 Liddy found a friend!
 Allden enjoyed going to the "cowboy" town.
