WARNING... this post comes with lots of photos!
We had a spectacular visit with my dad and step-mom last week that the kiddos are still talking about it. For the last seven years they have made the trek to AZ from NorCal always for Samantha's birthday - but really, could they have picked a better time of the year?? Probably not! We had the most gorgeous weather; I mean who wants to come and visit us for the twins birthday in JULY... in ARIZONA!
Here are some fun photos...
The first couple of pics are of their dog, Opal, who is actually more like a small horse. The twiners got a kick out of getting a ride on her back. The pic on the bottom left is of some fun magnetic LED lights that my dad brought for Sam to wear on her ears. And for some reason Sam thought it was completely hilarious to "ride" Scott's bike around the street. It just looked so painful!
Last Friday I kept Sam home from school so we could have one last day with Grandma and Grandpa. We took them to the Mesa Swap Meet as that is usually full of fun treasures and trinkets. Here are the kiddos being goofy and trying on dozens of hats. I'm pretty sure the elderly lady running this booth was about to have a stroke watching my kids grab hat after hat to try on.
And of course the worst part of their trip is having to say good-bye. The kiddos were super excited to walk around in Grandpa and Grandma's trailer. They kept telling Grandpa to just close the door and drive, like they were gonna hitch a ride in the back of the trailer and take off with them... silly kids!
