Day Two GGMA's

Friday we went to my grandma Carole's house for a day with family. We had such a fun time. It was hard to leave. We'd never met this little man, Prescott, but the boys were instant buddies. Woody is my cousins other little boy and he's old enough now to play. He and the boys played the entire day. Non-stop! It was fun to see them get along so well and use their imaginations.The boys had so much fun in 'the forest' in my grandmas backyard. If we lived nearby there would be an entire treehouse back there. Monty even build the boys a swing which they had fun on. Looks fun huh!


I was glad our boys got along so well because it allowed me to visit with my cousin. She is so great. She's such a great mom and oh so sweet. I could have talked with her for days. Prescott was the only one that got a nap and he knew where to take it! Grandma was so good with him and so good with my boys. I love my grandma so much. I remember when I was little I LOVED to go to her house and now to see my kids have so much fun at her house is priceless. She taught my boys that at GGMA's house you don't have to ask. If you want it you can have it. My boys were in heaven eating from her buffet. I admit, I was in heaven eating from her buffet too!
My cousin Brant came with his girlfriend Tina and my Aunt Diane came after work as well! We felt so honored that everyone came to spend some time. We were thankful to see them before we leave California for a while. My Uncle Mike was in Hawaii with his Mom as she isn't doing so well. We wish her the best.
Now, I had to save my Uncle Ted for last because he is such a trooper. See...earlier in the day we had some plumbing issues. Tana and I were trying to fix it(okay I watched while she worked). I was like a bad backseat driver telling her to try this and that. She humored me and did, but nothing was working. Needless to say when Ted got there after work he had to go back to work, but this time with a lot of curious boys watching him and asking all kinds of questions. For him it was work, but for my boys it just added to the grand adventure of the day. Sorry Ted! We love you!!
We enjoyed this day so much. There aren't many days I'd like to relive, but this day is one of them. Thanks everyone for coming down for a visit and thanks Grandma for the perfect day.

I have those same kind of memories of my grandma's house, and now I LOVE taking my kids there. In fact, I get to go this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it. I love the swing -- what a great husband you have! And that forest --to die for. I want one of those some day.

Yes, trips to Gma Carole's are always the best. My kids ask for them and really I can't blame them. We hope to make it up for a day in a few weeks on our vacation. :) Looks like you guys had a great time there!!

It certainly does sound like the perfect day, in spite of the difficulties. Ted doesn't look very unhappy to me. The swing looks absolutely fun. I'm glad the cousins love each other. It's fun to see pictures of our LSB family!
