Fun Filled Week

As always I am a little behind on blogging but thats nothing new. Last week the kids and I met my mom in Columbus to go to the waterpark there. We had taken the boys last year and they had so much fun that we decided to do it again this year. This time around we also took Abby, so I recuited my brother to come for another set of eyes and hands. The day was a little cloudy to start out so the waterpark wasn't very busy, which was very nice. Mitch and his girlfriend Courtney and my mom came so each kid had an adult which made it so much easier. We stayed there all afternoon. Abby missed her nap so she was a little grumpy and ended up falling asleep while my mom was holding her. Bryce and Caleb has a blast. Bryce did the lily pads that you had to walk across about 10 times. Caleb was just loving the swimming. After spending the day at the waterpark we all headed back to Norfolk where we spent the night. My nephew Draven also stayed at my moms house, so we kind of had a little boys slumber party. Poor uncle Mitch got woke up at 7am when the kids got up, probably the earliest he has been up all summer!
Thursday, morning we got all the kids ready and headed to Orchard where my grandparents live. I haven't been to thier house in probably 3 years. They come up to Lincoln occasionally and it is usually such a long drive from Lincoln that we don't brave it with the kids, but from Norfolk it is only an hour drive. It was fun to see the farm again. Some of my best childhood memories are from staying with my grandparents in the summer and playing on the farm. The kids loved it. The boys caught frogs, looked at all the tractors, motorcycles and 4 wheelers, picked mulberries and even got to take a ride in the tractor with grandpa. Abby had fun walking around looking at the garden and they had lots of farm kitties running around that she really wanted to catch. We left in the afternoon and all the kids slept all the way home. The best part, other than seeing my grandparents was that we came home with a lot of sweet corn.
Later that day Robb's parents watched the kids for a while so I could sneak over to see my new nephew AJ. He already looked bigger and he was such a sweetie. It was nice to get my baby cuddle time in.
