At Grandpa and Grandma Alfords July 2008

I took the kids to see David's Dad last summer and they had a ball. I didn't blog about it at the time because we went from their house to my dear friend Michelle's and then came home to start getting ready for school and the chaos that follows. I had always planned to do it and then the house flooded and it went way down on the priority list and then I forgot. So I was talking to Michelle tonight and pulled out the pictures from last summer and thought that I would finally post a blog about the fun the kids and I had with their Grandparents. For those of you who don't know Grandma, She loves to have fun activities for the kids when we come. I am missing some pictures of some of them but I do have pictures of their water day. They also made windsocks, and played in bubbles and a few more things.

Here is Brandon holding up a sponge bomb that Grandma made. They had a great time throwing them at each other and then playing in the hose!

They took turns for a little while.

But then they started to play in the buckets!

I guess they thought that it was cooler in the buckets.

But the best fun of all was when Grandma took the hose and started spraying the kids. She had a great time and so did the kids.

All that water was fun but Grandma had even more fun planned! She loaded everyone up in the trailer and then drove them down to the river behind the property to play!!

While we were down there the kids saw this butterfly! It was very friendly and landed on Alecia! She had a great time playing with it.

She even got a chance to look at it really well! She was very fascinated.

The Butterfly also liked Katie's flowers!

Bethany was completely worn out!

Jared got to go fishing with Grandpa and he caught a Fish!!!!

Jared also had fun cooking with Grandma.

Grandma works really hard on her gardens and here is a sample of what she gets back from them! I just loved the sunflowers!

All good things must come to an end and we had to leave to finish our vacation. We really had a great time and hope to be able to do it again this summer!! Here is a picture of the kids and Grandpa and Grandma! We love you guys and hope you are enjoying Japan and our Cousins and Aunt and Uncle!!!
