A Wonderful Visit!

What a wonderful visit we enjoyed with Grandparents and Great-Grandparents! It was so special having everyone all here together for an extended visit! :o) Here's a glimpse of some of our fun memories . . .

Storytime with Great Grandma . . .
The undocumented piece of this picture is that this was about the eighth time Grandpa had blown up this balloon and the kids were having a blast chasing the balloon Grandpa "forgot" to tie! :o)

Making very yummy apple crisp with Grandma . . . and enjoying much apple consumption along the way . . .

Having a grand time with the new dump truck!!

Lots of fellowship and chit-chat! :o)

Hannah and Grandma playing one of many games of Memory . . . it's "play" for Hannah . . . it's work for the rest of us!! :o)

Great Grandma working on the finishing touches of one of the dresses she made for Hannah . . .

Peter's "new" hand-me-down shirt that went perfectly with his new truck!

Playing "Hot and Cold" with Great Grandpa and Great Grandma . . . Great Grandpa found all sorts of good spots to hide the buddy!

Modeling Grandma's new dress . . .

Monkey see, Monkey do! Hannah had her picture taken, so Peter wanted his taken, too! Who can resist that grin?? :o)

And what Hannah declared to be one of her favorite parts of the visit . . . watching Grandpa and Great Grandpa make the trees go "ka-BOOM!" :o)

For our last evening together, we enjoyed a lovely dinner at Red Robin's where they were celebrating Fire Prevention Week and the kids got to explore a fire engine. (The pictures will come later after we get a reader for Grandma's new memory card--Grandma remembered her camera (Yeah!), but the technician who sold her the latest and greatest memory card (4GB!) neglected to sell her a reader that would work with it!)

Altogether it was a wonderful visit that seemed to fly by all too quickly!
