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!
