Go Grandma, Go!

Grandpa and grandma airplane spent the weekend with us.

You will not see my pictures from the Saturday outing because they loaded up the car and took off. Three hours of uninterrupted time in my own house during daylight hours is priceless. I cannot thank you enough. Then I locked myself out of the house, but that's another story...

At least the weather was gorgeous. The children had nearly forgotten how to play outside, but they came around.

And it wasn't long before grandma got her workout.

And then there was a pile.

And then we did it again. And again. And again.

Her stamina rivals that of their father.

And Alida's stubbornness rivals that of her mother--she would not stop to let me put her pants back on after they fell off doing stunt maneuvers.

And Sunday morning dawned, cold and wet. And got more cold and wet throughout the day.

We paused for a group picture and then had to coax Ben in with some sort of bribery.

That'll do Ben.

That'll do.
