A week with Grandma -- Here comes a whole bunch of pictures

Photobucket

Do I mention enough how much I love my in-laws? I love the family I married into like I love my own. Grandma Donna came to visit us this week and my kids were in heaven. She would do things like hide little surpirses in her bag so that each morning when they came into her room there was a new toy. She gave them hundreds of underdogs on the swings in the backyard and read them as many books at bedtime as they wanted.

So here's some of the things we did this week:

We went to a Dairy Farm and got to see a cow being born. I can check that off my list of things to see now I guess. We took a tour of the farm and had some really really really good ice cream.

We finally got Lottie her birthday wagon. This has got to be the most researched wagon purchase in the world. I've been trying to decide what kind of wagon to get her for months because I want it to last forever. I ended getting one from Harbor Freight Tools. Check out those tires!

We went to one of those Bounce Houses and let the kids run wild one morning. I got in trouble for going up inside this one with Lottie but I'm shorter than some of the kids that were running around in it so I still don't understand.

Jack won the jackpot at the dog bone game and we got 200 extra tickets. We were able to buy 2 ring pops and a grow in water insect.

And, Charlie is just adorable.

More than anything though we just hung out in our backyard playing with bubbles and putting in our garden and enjoying the sun. Thank you Grandma Donna--we love you and can't wait until this summer when we get to come home.
