Memaw and PapaJohn came for a good, hearty visit last week.
They must have brought their Florida sunshine with them to chase away all the rain we'd been getting. They got to see one good downpour and the rest of their visit was sunny and so sweetly cool. So perfect for all kinds of activity. (picture taken by a friend of mine)
Papa had some shopping to do and a small construction project to help Josh complete, but Memaw was ALL IN with Noah and Anna. There was no shortage to her energy. Just see the many things my babies shared with Memaw and Papa!
Strawberry Picking!
Tea Party catered with Memaw's fresh tea and fruit salad.
Anna says this was her favorite thing to do with Memaw all week so I gave it a bonus shot. ♥
Marble races and blocks!
Picnicking with Anna's kitchen stuff.
Sweet CeCe's!
Joint iPad time. Memaw is a Pinterest-fiend, I tell ya!
Noah's personal favorite thing to do with Memaw and Papa - "Basketball".
Nail Painting!
Whipping up some Strawberry Jam!
One day us girls hit MANY little local shops around town and Anna got a TON of compliments on her cutie patootie outfit. She then declared, "I fink dis is my lucky day!" {Cue the song, "I Feel Pretty."}
Noah's other obsession lately for which Memaw obliged him over and over again - Kickball!
Smores via Firepit!
Sparklers!
Fireworks!
They loved it ... I think!
Water balloons!
I tried to give Noah a run for his money, but Carol put me to shame. That woman has some SERIOUS aim.
Lounging poolside!
More water balloons!
Then an all-out splash fest!
But wait, there's more! Water guns!
We wrapped up their visit with a shrimp/sausage boil on Memorial Day complete with sweet tea and potato salad all pulled together by Carol and Josh. Then it was on to watermelon and homemade ice cream.
Other highlights included John taking the kids to feed ducks at the park, Anna getting to show Memaw her swimming class, and having Memaw and Papa John able to cheer Noah on in one of his tball games. Josh and I even got to sneak out to a movie while John and Carol put the kids to bed for us one night. It was such a good week to be together and we are so thankful for grandparents that will come so far to see us and play and play and play with us, too. Noah was in tears when it came time to say goodbye, which is just more proof of how bonding the week was. So blessed! Thank you, John and Carol!
just LOVE all the hands one attention! And seriously....her outfit was REALLY REALLY cute!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your kiddies had so much fun and made some good memories!
ReplyDeleteReally cute outfit! And, I'm so glad that your kids have a good relationship with Josh's parents!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a fun Memaw! Her energy is inspiring. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd that outfit... with those boys... oh. so. sweet.
Um... can you tell that I'm brain-dead from lack of sleep and feeding a baby round the clock?!? Of course I meant "with those boots". :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! I had to read it twice, but I knew what you meant by the end. You poor thing! We know that poor tired state. You have a free pass for many, many months. :}
