Over the River and Through The Woods...

Since most of our immediate family still lives in our hometown, we go for overnight visits pretty regularly.  The kids LOVE going because J’s mom and my parents both live in the "country.” Which basically means a WHOLE lot more space and translates to a lot more freedom for them to run around, climb trees, yell, scream, and pretty much whatever else their little hearts desire so long as they stay away from the road.


Saturday morning/early afternoon we spent time with Grandma Brenda and Aunt Staci.  They have a really nice, large circular driveway – perfect for scooter races!

Despite how it appears, Aunt Staci was not chasing G with a broom :)  She's multi-tasking: sweeping leaves off of the driveway while racing with G...

Later that afternoon we headed over to my parents house (about a 3 minute drive).  G went with my mom on the golf cart to visit Meme (my grandmother) who lives next door.  And my dad brought out a small boy’s bicycle, that he’d found and repaired, for C.  Within 30 minutes (or less) C learned to ride a bicycle without training wheels!  Quite an accomplishment for a Saturday afternoon :)

On Sunday before heading home, we stopped by to visit with Great-Grandma H and thank her for the Valentine’s cards she sent the kids.  We had a nice visit, a little adventure :), and a quick snack with her before heading back home.

And of course, the kids are already asking when we are going back!
