Grandpa Jo and Grandma Anne's visit

We made the most of our week with Grandpa Jo and Grandma Anne. Anders still wanders around asking for Grandpa Jo and Shane never handles it well when Grandma Anne leaves. Myann insisted the day they left that they were still sleeping in the basement and would wake up and come upstairs any minute.
4th of July on the lake (actually celebrated on July 3rd) - it was pretty chilly, note the long pants and shirts. Not a lot of pictures because it was our first day home after that horrible night of flying and I had a headache.


Poor Grandma Anne fell in the kids mud pile while trying to save Anders from falling. Grandma Anne just likes getting dirty when she visits us.


Strawberry picking











Arbor Crest
After strawberry picking, we decided to do wine tasting at Arbor Crest. One problem, when we got there, there was a sign prominently stating that kids were not even allowed on the grounds. That surprised me, so we let Bob and Anne do the tasting, and Brian and I entertained the kids in the parking lot. Luckily the gravel lot is scenic and the kids found rocks to play with. So we took pictures:


Anders giving love

Anders running on the gravel and making me nervous

Shane wanting to pose for pictures with the pretty flowers

Anders pouting - what a cute pout




River Front Park
We finally took advantage of our passes and went to the park to do the rides.
Grandpa Jo took care of the spinning rides.












Not a look everyone could pull off


Shane was tall enough to ride, but could barely see over the top


Anders wants so badly to do the big kid rides
