Grandma and Grandpa Came to Town!

Mom and Dad came into town for a long weekend. We had a lot of fun. I wish they could have stayed longer. The kids really enjoyed having them here. We did a lot of fun things- the air and space museum, the botanical garden, swimming... Here are the pictures.

Of course, tackling grandpa was first and foremost. Can you believe that 5 minutes before this picture was taken, Fox was clinging to my skirt. It didn't take him long at all to warm up this time. Poor grandpa!

Eden has been talking for weeks about how she wanted to show grandma and grandpa how well she swims. Since it was 200 degrees outside, the pool seemed like a fun way to spend the afternoon.

Hey, the train puts me to sleep too!

Morningtime outside on the back steps. The kids like to start their day out back waking up the whole neighborhood.

Air and Space Museum. There are two. THis one is the one that just has tons and tons of planes. They also have a space shuttle. A real one.
