an unexpected visit

Isn't it fun to have a secret?

A good secret, of course.

Over Memorial Day weekend, my son, Scott,  and daughter-in-law, Stephanie, 'popped' in for an....ahem.... unexpected visit.

They 'popped' in after an eight hour drive late on Friday night.

No one knew they were coming.....

No one, except me!!!!

Oh, what fun it was to keep this little secret.

Oh, what fun, indeed!

I kept this secret for 24 l-o-n-g hours.

(I am not very good at keeping secrets. Nope, not at all!)

For 24 l-o-n-g hours, the anticipation was bubbling up.

I was so excited at the thought of seeing Scott & Stephanie....

And,

At the thought of how surprised everyone was going to be!

Excited was an understatement.

Finally, a soft knock at the front door....

We were all playing cards or was it Catch Phrase?????  Can't remember....

I sprinted went to answer the door.

Family was a-wondering who could be at the front door at 10:30PM?????

My excitement/anticipation got the best of me!

I let out a huge scream.

Startled everyone!

They all came a-running.

Yes, they were all surprised!

How wonderful to see Scott & Stephanie!

We all sat around and talked....for hours.

Such fun!

And, it was only the beginning of a wonderful weekend.....

Such a kid at heart, this son of mine.

Faith playing around with our dog, Bretta.

The big kids playing Whiffle Ball.

A brief chat with the dog....

"Leave the ball alone!"

The Littles and me....just hanging.....enjoying the afternoon.

We missed having Jon (my son-in-law)......

I guess, some one's gotta work.  :(

The weekend was delightful!

This Momma felt extremely blessed!

Lastly.

Cuddling
