A Visit from Grandma Debbie

We started off the visit with a day at the Aquarium.  :)

 We had to wait for a minute while the tiger area was prepped before the tiger came out.

 We fed the stingrays too.  :)

 Also, we really, really lucked out with the weather.  Going to the Aquarium in June is always a risk around here!

 Jared conquered his fear of the ferris wheel.

 And did the mini-drop ride,

 but would have nothing to do with the big one.  :)

 We all rode the carousel.  :)

 (And I took horrendous pictures to prove it.)

 And the train.

At home, Grandma Debbie was a good sport and played Mariokart with the boys. 

(The pictures flipping situation is really ridiculous!)

 Linda came too and we played lots of games...and I took candid pictures that some were prepared for and some weren't.

I can't even tell you how wonderful these ladies are and we loved just hanging out with them...reading, playing, puzzling.  :)

Grandma Debbie made the boys these fantastic water fight kits with sponges.  They were and are very fun and perfect for our hot summer.

I spent some time watching from the second floor window.  :)

We got to celebrate Linda's birthday with her.  :)

We loved having them here with us!

Both of them are doing puzzle apps.  :)

We went Father's Day shopping

and the boys picked out the (hehe) Star Trek shirt for Alan.

When the pool was unexpectedly closed, we did water balloons instead.  (Just a few of them!)

We played more and more and more games!

We rounded off the trip with a visit to Costco since Grandma Debbie has a membership.  :)

So much fun!
