This past week my parents drove down from Washington to pay our little family a much needed visit. My mom works at the local school where they live and was on spring break. So they thought it would be fun to come and visit with us since they had not send us since last April when my sister Mary got married. The kids were so excited to see them and didn’t want to take naps while they were here.
They arrived on Sunday evening and the kids greeted them with big hugs and kisses. I had planed to have my parents sleep in Kaelyn and Cohen’s room on the bottom bunk since it is a full sized bed and have Kaelyn and Cohen sleep in Jordan’s room. I set up a bed of one of them on the floor and the other could sleep on the toddler bed while Jordan slept in the crib. As it was nearing bedtime we did our normal bedtime routine. As the kids got in bed, Kaelyn protested going to bed. This is not an abnormal thing for Kaelyn so I just told her that I had a few fun things planed and if she didn’t go to bed she would not be able to participate. She told me she wanted to sleep on the top bunk with Grandma and Grandpa. I made sure it was ok with my parents and they were excited that she wanted to be closer to them. So her and Cohen slept in the same room as my parents and enjoyed every minuet of it. Jordan was glad they did this because she hates sleeping with a night-light on and with Kaelyn and Cohen in the other room she could sleep in complete darkness.
We went to the park and had lunch with our friends and played our hearts out.
The weather was really hot and Jordan and I got a little sun burnt. My parents loved meeting our friends and watching all the kids play. We went grocery shopping. I went visiting teaching and the kids got to stay home and play with Grandma and Grandpa. We watched the plumber fix the bathroom faucets. Wednesday night we all went out to dinner and La Fonda and had authentic Mexican food. Thursday we celebrated Easter and had Lance’s parents over as well. The kids looked for the eggs and then we had a delicious dinner. That night my parents left to head back home to Washington. They had planed to stay the night in Vegas and then continue on to my sister Mary’s house. They got there just fine and went out to dinner with Mary and her in-laws. They got a call from Charlene (my 18 year old sister) let ting them know she was throwing up and had a high fever. They decided to leave ASAP so they could be with Charlene while she was ill.
All in all it was a great visit and the kids are looking forward to seeing them this summer for Aunt Charlene’s High School Graduation.
Thanks for the visit Grandma and Grandpa Lumpkins. It was a real treat
