Mamaw & Papaw's Visit!

2 weeks ago,

Mamaw and Papaw

came down on one of their

fast and furious visits.

That means,

they drive all night Wednesday and into Thrusday

so they'll be ready to start the day with us

that morning.

They'll stay until Sunday and then drive

all the way back...

12 hrs minimum...

so they can be back at work on Monday.

I know they are completely worn out

after one of these weekends,

but we sure do love their sacrifice!

 

 

We started off our time together

by showing Mamaw & Papaw

our homeschooling group!

Crista was so excited to have them come in her class!

 

 

Crista had planned for weeks

for Mamaw and Papaw

to be her presentation

that day!

She made a sign and all in

preparation

(you can see it taped on the board).

 

 

After our schooling was done for the day,

we did a little geocaching!



 

 

 

 

 As usual,

Addie Grace thought the swag was

the greatest!

 At one of the caches,

we found this cool water pump

and had a little impromptu

history lesson.

Hands on history

is the best kind of history :-)

 

The whole weekend,

the weather was just perfect.

We definitely took advantage of it

and played outside as much as possible.

 

 

We stumbled across a really cool park

a couple of towns over from us.

The kids loved it!

 

 

During their visit,

Mamaw and Papaw

treated Addie Grace to a birthday gift,

since we weren't able to be together on her actual

birthday back in December.

Addie was told she could pick out

whatever gift she'd like.

Addie Grace knew EXACTLY what she wanted.

There was no hesitation

and certainly no talking her out of it.

She.Wanted.Make-up.

Yes, I'm aware she's 4.

But a girl wants what a girl wants!

And since I tell her no

each and every time we

pass the makeup isle,

I knew this would be extra special for her.

 

 

And it was super special!

You'll have to check back tomorrow

to see her makeover pictures...haha!

 

 

 

We had an awesome visit,

even though its always too short.

We're counting down the days until

our vacation this summer when we go up

and see everyone in Indiana!
