A visit with family

We are so blessed with our children's grandparents. Seriously. I know parental love is no suprise but our parents are truly amazing grandparents. Both sets have given us years of support and joy in the roles as grandparents. Sadly, we are a little too far away from either set of grandparents to get to see them very often. The grandparents on my side are several states (and about 18 hours in a car) away. When we see Grandma and Grandpa, it's typically for a week or so visit. We can't wait for the next time!!

My husband's parents live about two hours away. We try to get up for quick day trips to see Nana and Nampa. On our last day trip, we got to play, play, play!


Anna got to "play" the piano...


and she got to play with talking Thomas...


and she got to play on the giant ball.

David got to play too!


He read books and played in the yard.

We also took David and Anna to see David's favorite model railroad. It's a fantastic set up at a greenhouse near my in law's. The nursery has devoted an entire building to the trains.










Although she remained in the baby carrier because of the height of the display, Anna loved the trains too!




After the train, we went back to Nana and Nampa's for a little while. Nana took this shot of our family of four. I love it!


There were a lot of hugs to be had.


We love our children's grandparents. We wish we could see them more often!
