A visit from Grandma & Grandpa

 

Seth's Mom and Dad drove all the way from South Dakota to visit us last week, and we all had a wonderful time together. We had a big BBQ in the backyard, inviting Zac and Kristen, Tom and Ruth, Kellie, Bret and Abby and my Mom and Dad. We had a picnic in the park for a symphony concert. We went shopping and to the Children's Museum. We all celebrated Ella's 1st day of preschool for the year. What else??? Oh, the guys worked on a huge project in the backyard during the times they weren't busy with all these other things. It's always so nice when Tim and Margaret are here. They spoil us in our own house and the kids and Seth and I simply love havin them around. Thank you so much for making the journey out to Spokane and spending the week with us. We love you!

I don't know how he does it - Papa's got more energy than the kids!

Zac & Kristen put together a kickball game at the BBQ.
Rules be damned, it was so much fun for everyone who played
and were watching!

Tim & Seth took on an enormous project - pulling out bushes and
old fencing between our driveway and the yard and replacing it with
new fence. It looks wonderful! Ella was so into helping - it was awesome!

Tim & Margaret were here for one of our favorite events in Spokane,
the Labor Day concert at Comstock Park. So much fun!
