Great Uncle Orin Visits

Great Uncle Orin came in June for a week visit. He AMAZES me. He and his wife have never had children and he shows such patience and love to the kids. His love for his great nephews and niece is

so obvious and we appreciate it. He was a blessing. He was here during Babe's surgery which wasn't even planned but God had it planned. He followed kids around, sat and talked to Babe as he recovered, and after Gabriel and Annalina left for Grandma and Grandpa's house he remembered our trash day and took out the trash. Babe really enjoyed catching up with his uncle and got some good laughs. The kids really enjoyed hearing family history which was mixed with humour!!!

On the day of Babe's surgery we got the call that he was out of surgery as we were eating and Orin went down stairs to get ready by the time he got back up we were just about situated to leave and he was amazed at "how fast we can deploy." Pretty funny, we've had alot of practice!

Uncle Orin is an early riser and Carson would be up with him in the morning jumping on the couch and being silly. They had a great time.

We took Orin to some old mining towns near our house.

The kids loved being silly in Victor which Gabriel

refers to as a dump. Pretty close to correct!

The kids had to act out getting dumped out. The kids went with Uncle Orin to see a old mine and Babe and I stayed back at the van not being up to it! The kids had a great time!
