Grandparents

Living near grandparents has been such a blessing for us and the boys love being able to see them often.  Having grandparents that live far away also has an amount of excitement to it, though, and when they come and stay with us it is attention 24/7 and play, play, play--which the boys find extremely exciting and fun!

They were here for four short days, but we packed those days full of fun. 

Grandma's favorite place--surrounded by grandkids and books!

Building "together".  Brandon would put the legos on his taaaaaall crane and give them to grandpa for building.

Talking to his friend in Nigeria.

Grandma tells the "Candle Story" the BEST!

One day we went to the Children's Museum in Seattle.  It was extremely noisy from all the end of the year school groups that were there.  The kids had fun, though the adults walked away with headaches.

Micah wasn't too sure of the whole thing until he found the water.  Then he played with everything.

The boys' favorite room was the construction room!!

Brandon was ALL about dressing up with the right equipment and telling everyone
what they needed to do.

Micah allowed himself to be dressed up by his big brother, but wasn't sure what the
purpose of all that was.

Micah was far more into the actual building and helping to build.

I put two blocks on top of each other and he took over from there.

Brandon in the house he was insistent we build.  Mommy tried, but Daddy and Grandpa
had to take over cause it wasn't working very well.

Micah figured out how to put the screws in the holes.

This was fun to watch.  The boys put light golf balls in the tubes, pushed the button
and the air blew them all the way through the piping to the other side.

LOVE this picture!  They were all building a bridge together from two different ends to make it meet.



Brandon has really been in to maps lately, wanting to know where Nigeria is, where Grandpa and Grandma are traveling, where he lives, etc.  Here he and daddy are trying to find where Auntie Rachel and Uncle Al are right now.

Brandon also connected with the African area and went back there several times to
play the intruments especially.  It was fun to watch and warmed my Nigerian heart.

Grandpa and Grandma Nigeria left Friday morning.  We are looking forward to them being in and out of our house for the next couple of months.
