We arrived at their house around 3pm, did introductions and visited a bit. Around 5pm we decided that we would go to the Cheesecake Cafe and hopefully beat the rush hour traffic and the dinner time diners. We had an awesome meal and of course cheesecake, with great conversation...Makayla was the center of attention, my sweet little monkey!! My Aunt and Uncle were so kind to pick up the tab for dinner, what a nice surprise! We went back home and looked through family pictures on each side, it was so neat seeing how the twins grew up, see the adoptive family and their other siblings. We compared my Moms and my Aunts adoption papers and we are still unsure if they had the same Father...it is unclear; it would be so neat if they did!
We stayed up chatting, laughing and looking through pictures until 2:30am! The funny thing is, it didn't seem that late, and the time just really flew by! I guess that old saying is true "time flies when you are having fun"! We got up around 9:30am this morning, had coffee, visited, ate breakfast, visited, got ready and left to come home around 3pm. We were sent home with some really wonderful and unexpected gifts! Lets just say Makayla was spoiled, and so were we!
Well, I am off to bed now, but I just wanted to share about our amazing time meeting my Aunt & Uncle!! I can't wait until we get together again!! Next time maybe I will meet my other Aunt & Uncle and maybe some of my cousins too!

I rained the entire 3 hour drive there, and almost the entire way home, this was just before getting home we had a very nasty cloud above us!
