My folks make the trek to come see us every year and it's always a special time. This time was no different. Unfortunately, due to our crazy busy summer, Matt and I were really beat. Thankfully, my folks were understanding and let us just veg a lot. Very low-key visit, which was greatly appreciated by all parties, I think.
Looking all handsome with their new hair cuts for Grandma and Grandpa!
Have to go to Twin Beans at least once per visit. It's tradition.
Got them hooked on Mexican Train. We played quite a few rounds.
Rob has been learning to cook lately, so he made them muffins by himself one day. He was super proud.
Like I said, we did a whole lot of just this. It was nice.
On our last day with them, we took them out to Murtaugh Lake. It was really smokey from surrounding fires, but we decided to risk it.
Here's Matt and Drew kayaking together. We bought this little kayak for Rob, but he's already took big for it. It's perfect for Drew, though! Guess we'll have to save up and find Rob an adult one for next season.
Rob just wanted to swim. Swim, swim, swim. He's a fish.
I felt bad that Brinley kept getting left at home, so we decided to take her with us. We even somehow coaxed her into Matt's kayak -- she LOVED it! I totally expected her to freak and bail, but she sat there, totally chill, and rode around the lake.
Rob in Matt's kayak, which he liked much better than the little kayak, and Drew in "his" kayak. They were playing "battle boats", which was basically an excuse to ram into each other. Whatever.
Just chillin'.
Me and my love. <3
Me and my mini me. <3 (Rob was too busy swimming.)
Grandma with the boys. This woman's heart is bigger than she is.
We take a picture of the boys with Dad and Kathy every year to show how much the boys have grown. I cherish these. Love these two so very much.
