A visit from Aunt Ann and Uncle John Kenney

From a sad goodbye to a heart felt "Hello!"  Scott's aunt and uncle arrived for an early dinner Tuesday.  Ann and John made a detour on their return trip home to Vermont from Ann's librarian conference in Tampa, Florida.  We have been so happy visiting with them.  Such fun and interesting conversations, and they always manage to impart some of their wisdom on the kids.  Yesterday we headed to "The Menil Collection" to see one of the most comprehensive collections of icon art (a topic which Ann is particularly interested in).  While there, we discovered that this is now one of our very favorite museums!  So many wonderfully displayed collections, spanning thousands of years.  From ancient art to works from the most famous artists of the contemporary movement! I was so excited to see my first actual Frida Kahlo painting!!!!!!!  We ended our museum day with a delicious dinner at "Jasper's" in the marketplace.  What a beautiful evening.  Tonight Ann and John join us again for an early dinner and then they head home tomorrow.  What will we do?  No guests coming in the foreseeable future?  This has not been the case since we moved.....

Just outside one of the museums seven buildings.

A lovely walk to the "Rothko Chapel".

"Men, men, men, men..."

A maze mowed right into the grass.

Ann totally encouraged the children!

Ahhh, family.  So lucky....
