Drove to Chesapeake today to visit Dana and Alan at their home and got to meet all the kids. The drive down was nice, it took us a little over an hour and we got to see Chesapeake Bay when we drove under and over it.
The house was all quiet when we got there as only Dana was home, and we got to spend an hour or so just chatting and catching up. The peace was shattered when the kids started arriving home, but it was really good to see them again, and to meet those we hadn’t met before. They definitely fill the house, as all the little ones seem to want to talk at the same time, but they were very entertaining. Tal-y had a blast too, both with the kids and watching the squirrels in the back garden.
We stayed to eat dinner and being at the table was like being on a merry-go-round, as one person got up someone else took their seat. Having too extra people to feed meant the table was way past capacity but everyone got fed, the meal was good, and we appreciate Dana and Alan inviting us into their home.
