Visit to Grammy's House

At the end of the summer we took one last weekend trip. This one was to Grammy and Grandad's house. We went to a nice park and fed the ducks and walked around.

Grammy and Grandad

We love it when Grammy and Grandad come for a visit. And they love to come visit the arboretum with us. It was a beautiful day!

I love this picture. They look like best friends just laughing it up.
Sweet grandad hugs.

Thanksgiving

We went to visit Sam's family for Thanksgiving. It was full of a lot of fun cousin time. Katherine and Hannah are 6 months apart with Emily being 5 years older and Caroline 2 years younger but somehow they all still play well together. A favorite is always playing dress up.
We tried to get a cousin picture and it was tough. They were not all in the mood but the girls were pretty cooperative.

On Friday only our family was there so Grammy and Katherine had some special time and made a gingerbread train.
Caroline loved being buried under everyone's stuff.

Trip to Grammy's House

We had not been to Grammy's house since Christmas so we went over the weekend. On Saturday Katherine, Grammy and I went to a local production of Geppetto and Son which was a story about Pinocchio and his dad. It was really cute. Katherine loved it.

After the play we got autographs from some of the cast members. There were about 20 kids and teens in the show so we started with them.

The rest of the weekend was just spent around the house, relaxing, eating, and playing with Grammy and Grandad.

Grammy's house

A few weeks ago Katherine went on her first overnight trip to Grammy's house without mom or dad. Her cousins Emily (5 years older) and Hannah (6 months younger) went as well. I was a little nervous about how she would do but she never even asked to call home. The girls had a ball. They had tea parties, helped in the kitchen, played dress up, played in the sprinklers, planted flowers and had an all around wonderful time. Katherine cannot wait to go back.
