Grandma Holly's Visit!

Grandma's here!!  We picked her up from the airport and stopped at a store.  The boys were STARVING but thankfully grandma saved the day with some crackers and tuna salad.
 We walked Mya to school and on the way back the boys had fun showing grandma how they throw sticks in.  I got Levi mid fall.
 Ivy enjoyed having grandma hold her instead of sitting in the stroller:)
Toby and grandma putting together his Jake leggos.
We had lunch with Mya one day too.  They said it was too cold to sit outside so we got our own table!
 For Christmas Grandpa and Grandma Blaubach sent letters down saying when grandma came she would get them Packer hats!  We headed to the mall and on top of hats Grandma treated them to the Merry GO Round.  
The boys loving their hats!!  The girls have to wait till we can find pink ones.  What I don't have a picture of is right after this picture was taken the boys managed to knock a whole container of big gumballs ALL over the mall floor.  If someone would have caught it on video we might have won some money from funniest home videos!
 While mom was here Derek and I took a quick 32 hour trip to Louisiana. With about 25 of those driving.  Derek has been looking for this specific boat for awhile and finally found what we were looking for in our price range but in Louisiana.  If you can't tell Derek is just a tad bit excited;)  

 At a fun rest-stop on our way home.
 Grandma Holly with the kids after church.

With the Sea World tickets we got you could get one guest in for free in January!  So Grandma Holly was the lucky winner.  It was a beautiful day to go!
 Waiting in line.

 There is a glass tunnel you can walk through with fish and sharks all around this shark followed over head of us almost the whole way through.
 Watching the stingrays.

 The kids acting like the penguins:)
 We went to the dolphin show that they have.  It was amazing!!  


 After we rode some rides. 
Mya and Toby were tall enough to go on a "mini" roller coaster.
  

We finished off the day with a yummy ice cream treat from Grandma!
Grandma got Mya Skip-Bo!  We played this growing up and Mya caught on quite quickly.  We usually play it daily now:)
 Grandma got the boys some cool balls so we took a walk to the park to try them out!
 After we had some hot chocolate colored mashmellows because as Levi likes to say, his tummy was cold!  Thanks grandma for a fun fun visit!!  We love you!

Love love love all the pics. In the one of the kids and mom after church, it looks like Mya has four arms. I looked at it for quite a while. I'm glad Toby appreciates sturdy tables. I can't wait until he and Gideon get together in Dec.
