Visit from Grandma and Papa

As I mentioned, Grandma and Papa were in from NJ just in time for Simon's party last weekend, and we had a very busy weekend!

They got in mid afternoon on Friday and Mom and I went to pick up the boys. Simon was VERY excited to see Grandma and told his teachers and friends that she was there to visit him! He was just as excited when he got his big present from them...a real robot!

Saturday morning we spent around the house, doing lots of fun things. We picked blackberries out back, pushed Nate on the trike around the yard, played stomp rocket and helped Simon with his homework.

After naps that afternoon, we of course had Simon's party, which was great! We relaxed that evening afterwards, we were all pretty exhausted.

On Sunday morning, we went to the beach to play at the playground and take a walk on the beach. The tide was out, so it was a little rockier and slimier than expected, but that didn't bother the little guys very much.

That afternoon we headed to the wading pool for its last open day of the season. It was pretty windy, so before long we got the boys dressed and headed to the school grounds right nearby and flew our kite. Both boys took a turn, and then Matt got to show off his sprinting skills when Simon lost his grib and the kits headed for a tree.

After a delicious dinner, we put the kids to bed and wrapped up the weekend!

Here are some pictures of the visit:


















Thanks for a great visit, Grandma and Papa!
