It was a pretty relaxing visit with Mom and Dad. When Grace and Grant weren't being entertained by iPhone fun, they were engaged in card games, soccer volleys, and lots of books.
Dad took us to the movies. We saw
How to Train Your Dragon. We also ate a big bucket of popcorn. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely. We took walks and bike rides in the afternoon. We also went to the Science Discovery Center in Rockford. I was too busy vacuuming us out of the house that day (agents coming through etc.) to grab my camera, and so all the pictures of that outing are with my dad at the moment. That was a really fun afternoon. I don't know who had more fun - the kids or my parents. Every time I went to call Grammie and Papa's attention to something that Grace and Grant were doing, I found them engaged in an experiment together. I love these people who raised me.
This is a picture my mom got with her phone. The kids are wearing the clothes she made them. Gracie's dress is made from washable silk my mom bought in China. And Grant was so excited about the running horses on his bowling shirt. Dad made us yummy gumbo. We turned out all the lights one night to watch a lightning storm. Thanks again Mom and Dad! We were so sad to see you go.

It sounds like you had a delightful time with your parents and did so many wonderful things to celebrate Easter and to learn more about the Savior and the real reason for the season!
Love you all so much!
Mom O
Your parents are so wonderful!
And your Mother's card games! I have wonderful memories of playing cards with your Mom at Girl's Camp. That totally makes me want to get card games for the kids... Which ones are your kid's favorites?
Hides- Our kids love Go Fish and Memory. We got a pack of different card games for kids, none with names I recognized. But they involve matching and sequencing. They are a little old for Grant, but Grace LOVES playing games.
Thanks, Jheshe! I've wondered what age is good for breaking out the Go Fish and Memory--I'll have to try it out!
