Grammie's Visit

Grammie visited us the third week of July, and we had so much fun together! There were lots of stories, snuggles and tons of laughter! 

Grammie's Girls

Grammie made her famous "Cow Girl" scrambled eggs with her helpers...

There was a talent show put on by Lindsay, where we all had to participate and perform a talent. I am not sure what Andrew's talent is... LOL.

A serenade of "Brush Your Teeth" by Lindsay, Madison and Grammie. Heaven knows she listened to a ton of Raffi while we were kids, and knew all the words. Haha!

Andrew liked it and clapped 

Mom reminded me of an old Girl Scout song and we did a duo of "When an Austrian went yodeling..." It took me a minute to remember it, but I did remember the Bear part...

Lots of laughter!

In honor of Grammie's visit, I thought I would make Gigi's Texas Cake for the girls. It was a favorite growing up (especially Uncle Matt...I promise to make it for you when you come to visit!), and I figured out how to make it gluten free so I could enjoy it too. It was so, so good and you couldn't taste the difference! I loved passing down this delicious treat. I think it would have made Gigi smile to see her great grand girls getting seconds ;)

Seconds please!!

We did some good eating on Grammie's trip, and had Hibatchi! The volcano of fire was a hit!! There was a huge thunderstorm that hit while we were inside, and after dinner we had to make a run to the van in torrential rain! We were soaked and laughing. Ah, New Jersey summers. 

Grammie took us to Great Wolf Lodge, an indoor hotel/water park for a night. It is such a cool place, and geared specifically for families with young kids. There was a ton of stuff to do, and we made so many fun memories!

Girls stayed up past their bedtime to do a story time in the lobby with the characters...

Inside our room was a "Wolf Den" and it had bunk beds and their own TV. 

There was a dance party in the lobby after dinner...

And we went Glow in the Dark Mini Golfing. It was the girls first time to mini-golf, and they had fun! If felt like it took us ten hours to get through the course, but hey, patience is a virtue :)

Daddy took the girls mini-bowling...

We didn't bring our phones into the water park area, but here is a picture of it behind the girls. There were kid-size slides and they had fun "racing" each other down. Also, Jarrett was able to go on some of the adult rides (I was too chicken) and the girls, Jarrett and I rode a family-style slide while Grammie hung out with Drew. The girls and Grammie loved the wave pool! 

Fun memories with the family!! Thanks Grammie!

We are so lucky that our Grandparents make the trek across the country to visit us! We love our time together and always make sweet memories and have lots of laughs. It is really hard when they leave, and we miss them so much. We can't wait to spend more time together!! Love you Grammie aka Grams! xoxo
