Favorite People

Two of our favorite people live four hours away from us and so every now and then we like to hop in the car and travel to their house so they can spoil us with their undivided attention. We did a trip in the beginning of April.
Grandma!!!

Grandpa!!!
They live on a hill and Ben is learning how to ride his bike so luckily Grandpa has a stick with a hook on it to hang on to him.
Grandpa knows how to show a one and three year old a good time......take them across the street to stand on top of a big pile of dirt  :)  That's right!

They took us to the library and we heard stories about the wind.   Ben made his own wind catcher.
 They loved the fish tank at the library too.

We also went to the Cal-Ranch store to look at baby chicks and ducklings.

 We went over to my brother's house and the kids are in love with their dog.  They got to feed him ham.
Getting Lizzie to smile for the camera is rare but when she is in the same room with dog she will give you the biggest smile she has to offer.
Whenever we are around my brother Ira, he is doing this with Ben.....

Wrestling!
Ben loves it and by the time they are done they are both dripping wet with sweat.

I adore my parents and feel so blessed that we have a place to go to escape life sometimes.  Going to my parents' house after I moved out many years ago has always been delightful and enchanting.  I love taking my kids there now.

I love going to my parents home. Escape and a place to let my hair down. These are precious times...
