Hello and Goodbye to Cousin Kyle

Whit's nephew Kyle has been serving a mission for our Church in Washington D.C. for the past two years and of course for the past two years we have wanted to get up there and see him, but it never worked out. Since D.C. is a lot closer for us than Arizona and Brent was coming into town to do a little touring with Kyle before he left we decided to make a quick trip up there. When I say quick I mean quick. We left Saturday morning and came home Sunday afternoon. It was a fun trip though. As soon as we got into D.C. we met Kyle and Brent at a TGIFriday's and ate dinner with a recent convert that Kyle taught. It was great to sit and chat and hear about Kyle's experiences on his mission. After dinner we went to my cousin Kristen's house to spend the night. Kristen and Scott were so gracious to let us stay at the house especially considering it was such short notice and they already had Scott's sister staying with them. We stayed up late talking and then went to bed. The next morning we went to Sacrament meeting with Kyle and Brent at the Mt. Vernon building which overlooks the Potomac River. It was beautiful. I wish it wouldn't have been so cold and we could have walked around. Then we said our goodbyes and headed back to Kristen and Scott's and ate the yummiest chili that they had made for us. It was so fun to hang out with them. After lunch it was time to head home. The girls did awesome in the car, especially considering we didn't have our DVD player with us. I have such good kids.
