Visitors!

Last week we got a visit from my brother Chris, his wife Jen and their boys, Mikey, Mathieu and Marc. I think the picture below is evidence enough that a good time was had by all.

Clockwise from top: Marc (in red shirt), Sam, Mathieu, Mikey, Ben, Chris' feet.

While the grownups chatted downstairs, the five boys proceeded to systematically destroy any semblance or order upstairs and have a grand ol' time in the process.

Ben took this picture of Marc.

We showed them the sites and Stanford, which was nice and uncrowded because it was Thanksgiving holiday and all the students were either gone home or sleeping somewhere. So, luckily, we weren't injured by any careless bikers, which is all too possible at other times.

Chris, Marc, Ben and Mathieu playing in the fountain. (It had been dyed red for the big Stanford/CAL game, but it really just looked pink. And disturbing.)

Sam and pink fountain. It is amazing that no one fell in. Amazing.

It was so much fun to see them. But too short. Next time come and stay for longer guys! We all had a blast and the boys cried and cried when they left. It was sad.

And here is a picture Ben took of himself. Just for fun.
