We had a great week in Wisconsin with family last week! (The cooler temps certainly helped our visit too!) Always fun to see Grandma and Grandpa, and we also got to see Bryan's brother's family -- so much fun!
We spent a lot of time walking to/from the parks. I have no earthly idea what Kayla is doing here . . .
. . . or here for that matter!
Looking way too grown up . . .
Joshua and Grandma walking through the skate park.
Love this . . . can't believe he's in 1st grade in a week!
Joshua and Kayla were SUPER pumped to go fishing with grandpa. They were able to fish right off the pier instead of renting a boat . . .much easier that way!
Getting all set up . . . (I believe that grandpa never even put his pole in the water . . . the kids were catching so many fish he didn't have time to!)
Yeah!
And then Tyler came on the scene to check it out . . .
Love his expressions :)
This pic just cracks me up!
We spent some time on the "beach" building sand castles while Joshua and Grandpa were finishing up! She was the official "water go-getter!"
Doing an activity book with Grandma Nelson . . .
Joshua showing one of the twins how to work Daddy's iPhone . . .
And then the boys (aka as Mark and Bryan) thought they would combine their crazy ping-pong skills with some mad photo-journalism and wow us all . . .
Amazing, isn't it?
Joshua turned into quite the ping pong gu-ru while we were there. It's actually really engaging to play with him!
Some good 'ole rough-housing fun!
We had decided ahead of time to stop in St. Louis on our way home so we could see my Grandma and Grandpa Smiley. The kids were pumped to swim in the pool.
You go girl!
Wham!
Bryan and Tyler just chillin while the older two were in the pool.
Oh yes -- popcorn in bed!
So -- this is ALL tyler's doing . . . not sure why he likes to smother himself with blankets.
So . . .Our timing with stopping in St. Louis ended up being an absolute God-thing. Grandma had just gone into the hospital because of a fall, and I was able to visit her for a few minutes. Grandma will only be with us on this earth a bit longer, and I am so thankful that God set up the timing of our visit like He did. We then stopped and visited with Great Grandpa before he insisted on treating us to the good 'ole Golden Arches!
Last McDonalds stop before we got home. There are 93 years between Tyler and Great Grandpa -- and they both enjoy McDonalds. Amazing! Wonderful trip - so thankful for our time with both families.
