To Grandmother's House We Go

This past weekend, I loaded up the kiddos to head to Grandmother and Grandfather's house while Jacob was on his annual cardiology ski trip {their motto: work hard, play hard}.  We had a ball in such a quick little visit - breaking geodes, visiting the Columbia Zoo, planting flowers, roasting marshmallows, star gazing and moon watching.  And we even fit in a fun girl's dinner out, while Charles and Grandfather had boy time with legos and books (little Frances was none the wiser snuggled up in her bed).  This weekend is just what we needed.

Plenty of time outside by the fire

And running around in our pj's {I love his cute little upright posture}

Planting flowers

 We got to enjoy Hannabelle part of the weekend too

Reading about where Aunt Julianna and Uncle Mark live

Next, breaking geodes, one of GF's past hobbies

How neat

 Passing of the geodes, so sweet

Now, it's F's turn

A little picture posing, with matching hair clips

 Next stop, the zoo!

Maybe this will get their attention

Where should we go next?

A giraffe feeding sounds good {this was their favorite}

 Frances thought it was hilarious

 So did Charles

Silly giraffe

Now time to feed Hannabelle

 Frances is always looking up to her big brother

 Loving their new lunchboxes, thank you GM

 More posing with babies

Thank you for a wonderful and memorable weekend!
