We drove from PA to VA on 4/30 to see Gram and Grand-dad!
Almost immediately after we arrived Blaine wanted to check out the new playground:
Gram brought some treats back from Europe for us, including a t-shirt and towel for Blaine that expanded in water:
On Friday, Blaine helped Gram make some delicious pancakes for breakfast.
Blaine, Daddy, Gram, and Grand-dad took a morning trip to the Air and Space Museum, while Sarah and I stayed home. Sarah enjoyed her new mouse booties from Gram:
And she also got to play a piano for the very first time:
That night we had drinks out on the deck:
On Saturday, Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Michael joined us for brunch:
Sarah loved playing with this toy that her great-grandfather Cecil made:
Blaine also loved helping Gram in the garden:
Here’s a pic from one of the delicious dinners that Gram prepared:
We were all sad to leave on Sunday morning:
Though Blaine enjoyed the sights at the airport:
And Sarah enjoyed this plastic cup on the airplane.
The kids were exhausted by the time we got off the plane and both were asleep in their carseats when we arrived home.
Thanks to Gram and Grand-dad for a wonderful visit! We had a great time and appreciate all your help with Blaine and Sarah.
Sally and Andrew worked so hard to make the two visits pleasant for everyone. The kids never seemed seriously out of sorts or unhappy. It was a great time for us. And now I understand how Blaine acquired his expertise in the garden – – Fran, Jane and Sally!
