Visit from the Benham Family!

Thursday afternoon I got a text from one of my Besties asking if we'd like some company for lunch on Saturday!  She and her beautiful family had been vacationing in Branson for the week so they were going to head our way on Saturday!  That made my day!

Folks, Trista Faye Benham is NEVER late.  And in true never-ever-ever-late style, Trista was about an early arriving this morning!  The plan was for them to arrive between 11:30 and 12.  About 10:15 Trista sent me a text that it'd be more like 10:45 that they'd be here ... and then, there she was just 15 minutes later ferociously ringing our doorbell!

We decided on BBQ for lunch and headed out a little after 11.  It was great that both of our kids joined us, too!  We went to Holy Smoke BBQ in Lee's Summit.  It's a little family owned restaurant that has great food!  Trista has three girls - Madison is 14, Kalli is 13 and Lexie is almost 3.  The "big" girls sat at a booth and the adults (and Hunter and Lexie) sat at a table a short distance away.



Bryan ordered The Porker and Trista ordered The Porkette. Does it get any sweeter than that?

After our lunch we headed home and the Benham's stayed for about an hour and we enjoyed the beautiful afternoon!  The girls played hide-n-seek and played with water balloons while the adults visited (and swatted away the wasps galore!).

As with all good things, the Benham visit had to come to an end and they headed home a little after 2:00. 

The Benhams will be back in Lee's Summit at the end of July for the Kenny Chesney concert and we look forward to it!  There is never a dull moment and always stories to share ... and new stories to create!
