Mattson Visit

Ty ended up taking Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off so we could spend time with TY's older sister Jenny and her family. We haven't seen Jenny or her family since we got married in 2005 (we've never met their 2 youngest girls).

Monday, August 30...
We met up with some of Ty's family at Ty's parents' house in Tehachapi around 1pm. We decided to check out the Ostrich Farm, which is always super-cool. After the Farm, we headed back to Ty's parents' house for dinner with the rest of the family that had arrived. Altogether there was 25 of us (our family, Ty's parents, Gabe, Desi, Gma Beth, Aunt Kathy and her son, Jason, Amy and the girls, Jon and Jo and their kids, and of couse Jenny and Chris and their family)

Here we are at the Indian Point Ostrich Farm.


Tuesday, August 31...
Ty's parents, Gabe, Desi, Jenny, Chris and their kids arrived at our house a little after noon. We ate lunch, then the slip n slide fun began! Jolene arrived with Nathan around 1, and then with Teresa around 3. Amy, along with her girls and Jason arrived around 2pm. All the kids had a ball. The swing set was a huge hit as well.
Around 4:30 we packed up and headed to the park for dinner.
