A visit from G (x 3)

Grammie, Granddad, and Grant came to visit and celebrate Caleb's birthday with us. We were so excited to have them here!  (The kids probably would have played with them for 48 straight hours if we would have let them.)  There were games, puzzles, and towers galore during our time at home and we also managed to visit a few favorite spots around town when the weather cleared up.   Thank you to our wonderful guests for spoiling us with all your attention and for your willingness to play from morning 'til night!

We were on our way to the playground when a sudden thunder storm redirected us to Foster's Market for some coffee and treats! (oh, well!)

Learning about weather at the Life and Science Center.

We finally made it to the back half of the Life and Science Center...and got to dig for fossils!

...a beautiful day for sailing

Every morning the kids came down to wake up Grant and find a dazzling new creation made from their Kapla blocks...which led to some inspired building sessions throughout the day!

Soooo big!!!

***  I should also note that last weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to host the newly married duo from DC, Hannah and Chris!  Not sure if I was self conscious about scaring off Chris with death by photo shoot or what...but someone I managed to only take one picture the whole weekend...my sincere apologies for the lack of documentation.  Guess they'll have to come back again soon!
