A week at Grandma's!!

Eric had the idea to take the week of his birthday off and have a "staycation" at his parents' house!  Of  course we were up for that!  And it was just as fun as we imagined it would be!  

First we had Cleo's blessing!  Eric got this too-bright 4 generation picture:

 And we got a family picture with everyone except Kurtis!

 Whitney had fun with Cleo all week

 And so did Owen actually!

 We enjoyed Grandpa's new fire pit a couple of times!

 We took the boat up to Pineview!  The weather was hot and perfect, the water was deep about 2 feet from shore, and the girls spent hours playing in it! and getting boat rides from Grandpa. Here they are about to do cannonballs into the lake, so fun!

 Owen LOVED the water, and finally learned how to splash this week!

 The next day we went to Lagoon!

 The girls were so BRAVE and went on a TON of rides and several roller coasters!  Whitney screamed in delight on every ride, and Katelyn clenched her eyes shut and held on, but as soon as she got off she was always laughing and talking about how "awesome" the ride was. :)

 This was the only ride Owen went on, and he LOVED LOVED it!  He was just giggling and screeching the whole time as his horse went up and down.  So cute!

 We went to the water park area at Lagoon too for a couple of hours, we had to cool off!

 Whit loving the "dino drop"

 The 4 grandkids- check out Cleo's cheeser!

 We all wore our Star Wars shirts

 We also went to the pool one day, a movie another day, and miniature golf another!  And we celebrated Eric's birthday- Now he's as old as me!  But I stopped taking pictures by then!  Here's Kate jumping off the diving board in her life jacket- she took it off and swam a ton in the pool, she's doing so good!

She called this the "star jump"

 Whit was brave and jumped off a bunch of times too!

 And Owen was his super cute self, hanging on to the wall and splashing!

We had such a great and relaxing week, thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

Oh and one last thing to record- on Eric's birthday Whitney was saying our family prayer at bedtime and she said " I'm grateful that my Dad had his birthday and I'm grateful that he still looks the same"  hahaha, I had told the girls the night before that in the morning they needed to say "good morning Old Dad" since it was his 30th birthday, so she must have thought he was going to age over night!! So awesome.
