A Visit from the Murphys

In the Allen house, the month of September can be summed up with 3 words....

school,

school,

and more school!

Ok, that was 5 words but you get the idea. As a result, I haven't taken many pictures this month. We've pretty much kept our noses in the books and that doesn't make for a very exciting blog entry!

However, we had one huge blessing in September when the Murphy family came for a visit! Robert had a trip out of the country so Connie and the boys came over to hang out with us for a few days. Here are a few pictures from our time together:

(These pics were all taken by Connie. She is a much better photographer than I am, so I just bummed these pics off her! Thanks, Connie:)

There's a swimming place in town called The Caribbean that we've been wanting to check out. We've heard it's pretty cool so we decided to test it out while the Murphy boys were here. We were all impressed. It has a couple of huge water slides, this sunken ship to play in, and it's very clean! We'll be back!

Connie also did a post on her blog with these pictures plus some others, including the water balloon pictures!!
