Over the past couple of months we have been lucky enough to have my parents come and visit us twice!! The first time was back in March over Spring Break. They called us up and said: "hey..what are you guys doing this next week?" To which we said: "Nothing...Why?" Then they proceeded to tell us that they were going to drive down and see us!! They got here about dinner time on Monday night and left early Friday morning. It was so fun having them here. The girls love it when they come. They feel so special when Grandma and Grandpa pick them up from school, or read them a book or play with them. It was a fun week spent looking for a house to buy, seeing some sights, getting some dental work done, and spending time together.
Playing games with Grandpa and having story time from the ipad.
Going to the Ft. Worth water gardens. This is on their way down in and walking around the bottom.
This little guy is something else. He found a stick, as any little boy would, put said stick in the water...reached over to touch the wall, and fell in soaking his bottom half. At this point, we just took off his shoes and socks and let him be.....then he went back over to the same wall, with the same stick...and fell in a second time, this time sliding his head down the entire wall on his way in! Ouch! You would think that at this point we weren't watching him...but I assure you, we were. We were right there the whole time. You just never know what he is going to do...and I did catch him the second time. It might have been a second to late, but hey...at least I tried. After the second time falling in, we just gave up and stripped him down. Yes, we were walking through downtown Ft.Worth with a kid in a diaper. Not my style, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
The sweet kids.
Everyone laugh!! Playing sound of music hiding in the trees. Climbing up the pyramid.
The second time they came to visit was in May. They came down for my sisters gymnastics competition. It was going to be here in Dallas, so they flew down a few days early so we could play and then we headed up to Frisco and Carrollton for her competition. The few days that they were here, we again went looking for homes and just hung out. Then we headed up for Nana's competition. We stayed at my Aunt Ann's house. While there we had some time in between the competition for some fun, so we headed into the Dallas Science Museum. It was fun, but we didn't really look at the map very carefully and totally missed the best sections for the kids...boo. Oh well. Next time. They still had fun and so did we. These places are always so cool to visit because of all of the little facts that you learn.
They had an earthquake simulator ride that you could go on. Here are the girls with Aunt Ann and Uncle Byron. I love their faces in the bottom two pictures. So funny!!!
Next up was the weather station. You would stand in front of the screen and it would put you in some type of storm and tell you what to say. In the top picture, my dad is being the weatherman. Funny!
The sweet kids.
When they were here this time, Geoff was out of town. It was so nice to have the extra help. Here is Brynlee with mom on Sunday after church and then with dad at night bouncing on the exercise ball, where she fell asleep. Soooo cute!
