Visit from the Greats!!!

Grandma and Grandpa Grover made a trip down to Richmond before heading back to Alaska... and we had a really fun visit with them!!! We did a few fun things during their visit.... Josh and Taylor loved showing them around the neighborhood during a morning walk to the park. Grandpa taught them how to make a slingshot (or a flipper, as Grandpa called it) out of stuff they found along the trail. Then he showed them how to shoot acorns... watch out, Grandpa has good aim! They took us out to lunch to our favorite restaraunt, Chic-Fil-A. But before they had to get back, we played some checkers, Sleeping Queens, and topped it off with Grandpa's reinactment of "Little Lost Sid"!

Most of all, it was fun to spend a little time with them before they left the east coast for good! We loved having them here, even if we didn't get to see them as often as we would have liked! (we're to blame for not making the trip more often) But just knowing they were in driving distance was a huge comfort to us!!! We will miss them.... but are excited for them to be back "home in Alaska" with everyone else!

"Park It"

This was our latest venture to the little park that is a quick walk from our house! Josh is still trying to get the hang of the monkey bars... he can usually go two rungs before his lil' hands give out! Caleb loves the thrill of the slide, as well as Dad's "rocket launch" into the air!

All of this, we did with NaDene, Taylor and Cole!!! They are living with us for awhile, and we love the company and excitement that has come from almost doubling our family! We love them to death and are so glad they are here!!!
