Yesterday............

All our troubles seemed so far awaaaaay.....

Yesterday we went to Grandma and Grandpa's. We're lucky. They've adopted us since my parents and The SM's parents live so far away. Everyone should have grandparents close by.

Grandpa and Grandma have a fabulous yard that backs right up to the river so,



we threw rocks



we looked for bugs



we found some and let them crawl on our fingers



we ran up and down a hill laughing and giggling



grandpa burned fallen tree branches



grandpa thought Mr. C might like to learn how to drive his ATV



he was right



grandpa is a very brave grandpa



we love our grandpa!

  1. Mom, Thank you! It was a fun day.

    I think you should stop being so selfish, sell your house, and move closer. ;)

  4. Chastina, It really is. We are so grateful to those who have adopted us and to those who have let us adopt them!

    Jody, You need to adopt some grandparents!! :) Yes, we're still in the very early stages of spring here. Quite crazy the weather this year. I DO need to come and visit.

    Hanna, Mr. C seemed to think so.

  5. Lyndee, We think so too! That's why we keep making a nuisance of ourselves over there.

  6. I don't think he'd let ME drive that!!! But I know he'd let me take home some of his bugs. Really, though - somebody should have come to my house to GET THIS WOOD!!!!! SHeesh. It's only two doors down.

  13. Ooohhhh! I'm sighing with envy and the pleasure of memories of our own. That's our favorite kind of day.

    We have some adopted grandparents--life would be so much emptier without them.

  14. Some of the best relatives I could ask for have been these adopted types. It's funny though, I guess if you go back far enough in your family lines, you really area related somehow...
