Fun with Grandparents

Our Grandma and Grandpa N. came to visit us for the weekend. We had big plans to show them some wild times, but had to tone it down a bit when little L. got sick. They went right along with whatever we had planned or didn't have planned. The kiddos LOVED all the time they got to play and all the LOVE that was shown to them. They played "Payday" over and over again, as well as "Sorry," "Taboo," "Apples to Apples," and more. They took Grandpa putt-putting, and had a movie party with everyone. We put Grandpa to work as he and T worked on our toilet that broke while they were here. (Luckily, it wasn't major).  Grandpa wore his missionary tag on Sunday for Stake Conference (a semi-annual church meeting with surrounding congregations) and got to stand up with all the other full-time missionaries serving in the area. It was very neat to see.

On Sunday we got to celebrate Grandpa's birthday. A and L. each put together a treasure hunt and made Grandpa look for his gifts. Of course, they gave him great clues. We ended the celebration with key lime pie and rowdy birthday singing.

Treasure found!

Grandpa is the REAL treasure!

Thinking about those wishes.

Seeing how much the grandkids loved treasure hunting, Grandpa put together a treasure hunt for each child with the treasure being a candy they really liked. It was so sweet to see him thinking of each child, drawing their clues, and setting it all up. When we picked them up from school on Monday, he told them a pirate had been to the house and left a treasure map for them leading to a treasure. They ran around the house, excited to find the special treat. It was very cute.

Yummy treasures!

AHHHHHH!  They've gone berserk!  That's what a weekend with us with do.

And so we had a weekend with lots of goings-on.  The kiddos felt lots of love, and we are very glad they are so loved.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa N!
