…of our Son in law’s tedious years of studying and writing and creating and presenting for his degree in Aeronautical Engineering tomorrow, I thought I would do a quick post recapping our time last weekend with lots of photos.
Uncle Josh and Addy at the zoo. Our kids and our friend’s kids went to the zoo on Saturday.
Uncle and Addy on the carousel.
Auntie and Addy at our kid’s home. Addy and her parents stayed with our oldest and our dear DIL for this trip since our house is in another period of chaos.
After the zoo we all met up at Jamie, Sarly, Rae and David’s house for a barbecue dinner and fun in their backyard.
The sandbox was a fun discovery for Addy and David enjoyed it alongside his new friend.
Rae was a sweet hostess and took Addy for a ride about the yard.
Addy enjoyed sitting in the driver’s seat.
The dads gave their little ones some fun pushes on the swings.
David and Addy helped out by mowing the lawn and the putting green.
Some use golf clubs to get a hole in one, others take the easy road and just plop the ball into the hole.
The adults took turns helping the younger ones have a good time.
Help down the big slide was appreciated.
More help to zoom about the yard, too.
Loved seeing Katie’s purple hair amongst the purple blooms.
A great time with our dear friends who are family to us.
On Sunday late morning all our kids arrived at Baba and Gramps’ for our traditional family Swedish Pancake breakfast.
Addy got to see her pink kitchen that I bought a Goodwill for $1.79. I’m tucking it away for her to enjoy in the future when she’s older and can appreciate it more.
She enjoyed navigating our home again on very steady feet.
Some fun faces and a discovery of the tupperware lid drawer.
Our girls.
Our guys.
All of us together.
Till next time dear ones! It was a great couple days together.
Looking forward to Andrew’s graduation festivities on Friday and Saturday in the midst of us repainting our colorful walls and our kitchen the last few days. Oye, we are tye tye here at this old house. We are trying the neutral pallet to see if that will help us sell our home. Time will tell. Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I’ll be able to breath a sigh of relaxation come Sunday, Lord willing!
