Grandma and Grandpa

We love a good visit with Grandma and Grandpa. They always clear their schedule and make every effort to make our weekends in Kennewick jam packed with fun!

Saturday morning, the girls went to the park while the guys went fishing. I love this picture of my mom and the girls.

Linsey and Emma had fun playing in the sprinklers.

Austin enjoyed watching the sprinklers.
Here he is saying, "Where did it go?"

"There it is!"

The boys had a successful fishing trip at Lenice Lake. They caught 32 fish in 3 hours. They rarely went 10 minutes without a bite. That's a pretty good fishing trip!

The Playground of Dreams is one of our favorite places to visit whenever we go to the Tri-cities during the Summer. It's such a fun place for kids.

We also went to visit a nearby duck pond. Austin had been chasing one single bird at the park and was so frustrated when it flew away just as he got close.

Here, they came right up to him. He squealed with delight!

You may remember the pictures I posted last summer of Emma throwing a frisbee at the beach. She jumped high into the air each time she tossed her frisbee. Apparently, tossing bread to the birds brought out that same fly up into the air with both feet off the ground form. Hilarious!

Some of the birds would swim up and eat right out of the kids hands.

My kids had a great time collecting feathers. They were practically everywhere you looked. Grandma and Grandpa found something fun to do with their feathers too.


We had all sorts of fun going out to dinner and then listening to a live band on a warm summer evening. We watched movies and played crouquet in the backyard. We also had fun sewing hotpads, playing with play dough, reading books, visiting, and just spending time together.


My kids are so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents! We feel blessed that they all live close enough that we can visit and have fun weekends like this together!
