People Chaos

During the eclipse weekend we had soooo many people staying with us.

It was a good test for our new digs of how to handle the crowds, parking and sleeping arrangements and if 4 bathrooms was enough.
Happily I think it turned out ok.

I haven't cooked that much in over 2 years! I tried to have most of the cooking done prior to the weekend. I didn't get off until 6 PM each night so I wanted to make sure that things were ready without much prep.

 It was so fun to wander around and see everyone excited about the eclipse.

 Nate getting comfortable with Leighton on his lap.

 The lawn looked like tent city. It was so fun.

The house just before all the company came....the calm before the storm.

 I love looking out the back porch and seeing these mountains.

 It was fun to see most of the grandkids hanging out on the fence. We are just missing Teddy and Timmy here. Josh and Jaren and Justin are the oldest grandsons, they are so amazing with the younger cousins.

Nate and Sara doing a little selfie...looking good with their eclipse glasses.

 Tara and Matt just enjoying some time together.

 These two cousins....Lexi and Kendrix....they are the best of friends. It is so fun to watch them together.

 Nick and Lynsey with their friend Carla, they came all the way from Denver.

 Craziness with kids. It is the best.

 Cameron and Guen helping the boys with eclipse activities. Guen took some amazing pictures with her camera. She had a special lens and her photography skills are the best.

Jessica being the best big cousin to Leighton.
