Will they visit again - that is the question...

So this past weekend the grandparents joined us for one of our 'crazy fall weekends'. They arrived Friday, at noon, when we were getting home from co-op. The lunch that greeted them was string cheese, apples and carrots because I had not been to the grocery store yet.

That evening they patiently waited while Brian took the kids to soccer practice and I made it to the store. Granddad treated us to pizza when we all finally arrived back home.

The first Saturday "order of business" was our first 8a.m. soccer game for Reece. Willingly they got up and watched Reece. After wards they got to see how "worthless" I am when I came home from a 10 mile run and then we all headed back, once again, to the soccer field to see Lindsey play at noon.

After soccer Granddad treated us to Chick Fil A. The kids enjoyed many board games with Grandmom and loved having GrandDad chase them and our neighbor kids around the yard.

To top it off that day, Brian and I left for a night out on the town while Grandmom cooked dinner and took the kids to the IMAX to see the Legend of the Guardians.

Sunday was church, an afternoon birthday party that we attended - while the grandparents went out to eat-. After that getting home, from the party and 15 min. later running out the door to Tae Kwon Doe and - yes - bringing the grandparents there to watch us.

Supper was Cold Stone Creamery ice cream -- a tradition with Grandmom and GrandDad.

Monday morning was when they headed home and we started our typical school day.

Did anyone notice that I did not even cook once? Was hardly home to think about that and Grandmom even brought her traditional granola for breakfast.

Do you think they'll ever come back????

Here they are playing with GrandDad's I pad..

Loving GrandDad's hat!
Hanging out at the second soccer game that day...
Going out for ice cream. And this was them BEFORE the sugar high...
Wrestling, laughter....etc. in the back seat. Brian almost had to pull over and deal with the grandparents...
Sugar is starting to hit Lindsey's bloodstream....
Reece's sugar high started at his first bite of 'cotton candy' ice cream...
A tradition is to walk down to the waterfall wall and music to dance off some of the sugar...


GrandDad had the coffee ice cream and needed to run around as well....
Ice cream just makes ya happy!
They went home to get a vacation.....

I'm sure GrandDad and GrandMom had a great time. Since they don't see you all the time they get all their "fix" in a short period of time. :)
