Justin and Tyler had so much fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa. They played games, sang songs, went on bike rides, told stories, etc., etc., etc. Justin told my mom this morning that he wished they could stay here forever.
On Friday, first on our list was a trip to Trader Joe's. See? I told you before...we could live there, I think. My parents brought two extra suitcases for their loot. Note to self: peanut butter doesn't pass as a carry-on through airport security. Oops!
On Saturday, we drove to McMinnville, OR, to visit the Evergreen Aviation Museum. Ever heard of the Spruce Goose? It's huge! No, make that colossal! My dad loved all the old airplanes and helicopters. The kids loved the flight simulators in the children's area.
When we got home, my parents did their own Easter Hunt for the boys.
Thanks for the fun presents! Later, we colored our Easter eggs and Justin was a pro.

Sunday morning we had our Easter Egg Hunt inside because of the rain. No big surprise! Tyler would have been happy with one egg. After he found the one with a little Tigger figurine in it, he was done. Justin was in it for the long haul.
I taught sharing time for the kids in Primary at church. My mom and dad sat in the back so they could listen to my lesson. The kids sang a welcome song to them, too. We learned about the days leading up to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I asked Travis to come in at the end and share a little bit about his experience in Israel last year when he visited the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. I also asked a friend who recently lived in Israel to do a show-and-tell about some keepsakes they collected from the Garden of Gethsemane and the Tomb. Thanks, Tiffany! The kids were so reverent and seemed so interested the whole time. I hope their testimonies of Jesus Christ grew like mine did.
O.K, let's take a hug break:
Monday, we went to go feed the ducks and geese along the park trail behind our new library. We love that place and had to show it to Grandma and Grandpa.
We had a great weekend just relaxing and enjoying time together! I hope we can do it again soon! Next time it will be our turn to go to Utah.

What a wonderful time with the grandparents. I love the pics -- it shows how much your kids really love them. How fun!
I LOVE your parent's! Looks like you had so much fun! Let me know when you come to Utah!
Seeing the pics of your folks really took me back a ways.
For some reason it brought back the memory of falling asleep at your folks place watching a movie called "white nights"?
What in the world would convince me to watch a movie with a Russian Ballet dancer!!!!?
Good times.
