A Week with Grandma & Grandpa

My lucky little girls have spent the last week (9 days to be exact) with my parents & sisters. They are having the time of their life & I'm not sure they're ready to come home. I certainly miss them & can't wait to see them tomorrow!

One night they went to the Days of '47 Rodeo- on pink night, of course. My sweet Caitlyn is very sensitive to loud noises, so this is how she enjoyed the evening.

Madisen spent most of the night doting on Caden. He was more interested in the horses, but obliged his cousin for a few minutes.

And here is the 3-some peering over the railing for a better view.

On Friday, Pioneer Day, they started the day at the Days of '47 Parade. Grandpa went downtown early to stake out a front row seat. The three kids danced and danced to the live music. Caden randomly gave both the girls a hug, complete with a soft pat on the back, in the middle of the parade. After an attempt at naps and tons of time in the swings they had a BBQ then did sparklers. Caitlyn stopped after two sparklers because they were 'poking' her arm. Madisen eventually stopped when she tried to pick up a still hot sparkler to rearrange it in the water bucket and got burned.
The girls have also been swimming a few times, visited the Children's Museum at the Gateway, and been grandma's right hand helpers! Thanks for the memorable week everyone!!
