Grammy and Papa

Aunt Wendy left Saturday morning, which gave us the weekend to get the house cleaned and ready for our next round of visitors.  Grammy and Papa (Reid's parents) arrived early on Tuesday morning.  They flew into the Denver airport and so the kids and I left early (before Reid even left for work) to pick them up.  It took us a while to figure out the new parking system at the airport (it's been 2 years since we've been up there!) which turned out perfect on the timing as we walked up to baggage claim right as Grammy and Papa retrieved their final bag.  On the way back to our house we stopped in Castle Rock for gas and lunch at Freddy's.  By the time we got home it was after noon.  Wow--what a morning!  We spent the rest of the day recouperating and getting dinner ready, etc.

Wednesday a package from Grammy and Papa arrived at our house.  It containted belated Christmas presents for the boys.  The boys LOVED their firefighter costumes and played in them most of the day (despite the fact that they are little small on them now).  I also got to go grocery shopping with Grammy and without the kids which was a nice break!

Poor Kai had a huge wedgie until we got the straps adjusted on his costume.  It was worse than this picture reflects!

Thursday was just a fun day at home playing and visiting.  In the evening we took a walk over to the water company next door to show off the garden that we love over there and we also pulled out Reid's RC race car and played with it on the driveway.  After that we came in to a treat of "Dirt and Worms".  It has been a long time since I've had that, and it didn't disappoint.  I think we'll be doing that again soon (mainly to use up the gummy worms that I bought).

Kai spent hours sitting on the couch and talking to his Papa.  They both loved it.

Don't mind the ice pack stuck in Kai's hat.  He hit his head that morning and found an easy way to hold it on.

Friday we managed to get everyone in the van and head to CostCo for a bit.  The rest of the day was more visiting and playing at home, which seemed to work best for everyone.  And Saturday and Sunday were just more of the same.

The boys turned boxes into firefighting airplanes.  Reid helped Finn design this one.  They have been loved!  They insisted on doing treatments in them as firefighters one morning.

Monday morning we decided to head to the outlets for a little shopping and lunch before Grammy and Papa took off.  We spent quite a bit of time at the Loft Outlet and I got some fantastic deals on some new summer clothing.  I've been happy with the purchases and am glad that I got to go with Grammy.  We had lunch at Black Eyed Pea (which was a bit of chaos, honestly) and then we finally headed up to the airport to drop them off.  It was a fun visit and we are so glad that they were able to come out to see us and meet Bree for the first time.  The boys love playing with their grandparents and we look forward to hopefully seeing them again soon!

Saying goodbye at the airport

At the last second I realized that we didn't have a picture of Bree and her grandparents.  She is so attached to me right now that she cries when anyone holds her.  Thankfully Papa was a good sport!
