Another Visit from Grandma and Papa

We love, love, love when Grandma and Papa come to town. The main purpose for this visit was Ellie's preschool graduation. 

First things first, Ellie had to show off her bike riding skills, showing Grandma how she can ride without training wheels.

My parents pulled their trailer here once again. There's a pool at the RV park, so we got to go swimming for a few days. The girls love the water, and it's always nice to have an extra pair of hands around the pool.

Ellie's graduation! They had the most adorable cap and gown, they even played the graduation march. Of course we were all teary eyed. Ellie had the best time at St. Jame's Preschool and we loved her teachers so much. Sad it will be a few more years before Lucy will be here.

My mom and I had big plans for landscaping while she was here. We frequented the garden center and got a few things planted. I love having a helping hand and her gardening know how. Plus we just have so much fun together. 

My parents dog Annie is always a favorite with the kids.

We visited This is the Place Heritage Park. The girls loved the petting zoo, train rides and playground. We had fun looking at all the old houses. It's always fun to visit a new place with my parents and learn about Utah heritage.

Plowing the dirt in a skirt, you go girl!

Not only did the girls like the full size train, they loved the mini train around the duck pond.

We find lots of fun stuff to do while my parents are in town and I love to make memories while they are here, let my parents experience some of the girls "first" since they live far away. This time we got Ellie's ears pierced. Jared and I had been talking about it for a while and so went for it. Ellie was brave, of course she cried but I had reminded her beforehand that it was going to hurt, she might cry and that's okay, BUT they have to poke the other ear after the first. She is happy to have them, especially since they are sparkly. 

My parents had to leave a day early because someone tried to break into their house back in California.They didn't get all the way in, but the door was broken. We were bummed for them, but happy it didn't happen a day into their visit and happened at the end of it. Until next time.
