Too much fun? What's that mean?

To round out all of our farewell activities prior to Brent's departure, Brent's parents came up for a weekend visit. We didn't tell the kids that Nan and Poppa were coming, so they were surprised and THRILLED when they showed up at our door. Dances of joy ensued for our children and Tristan glued himself to his Poppa's side. We had a fun afternoon playing with Nan and Poppa, capped off with a walk down the street for some ice cream. Could this day get any better for the kids??
Did I say walk?? Oh, yes, it was only the adults who actually walked. All the kids were pushed and pulled, even Bennett who wasn't interested in riding in the stroller.

YUM!! Bennett was thrilled to participate in this tasty treat! We got our ice cream and settled in on the picnic tables that overlook one of the busier streets in our town. All the adults were busy chatting when we noticed Tristan about ten feet away, facing the street with his pants around his ankles, peeing for all the world to see! How embarrassing! Wish I'd gotten a photo of that!!

We attempted to drown our embarrassment with a dip in Nan and Poppa's hotel pool.

The kids had a ball--and so did the adults watching them. The kids are absolutely in awe of a hotel. For them, it has all the excitement and fun of a world class five star establishment. I'm so blessed to be able to experience life through the eyes of my precious children.
Thanks, Nan and Poppa for such a fun day! We can't wait to visit again soon!
