Grandpa Came to Virginia!

Grandpa got on his motorcycle Friday afternnon and traveled a whopping 800 miles to see us for the weekend. We had so much fun and did a lot while he was here over the weekend.

We stopped and got some slurpees and they showed off there colorful tongues! Grandpa had banana so I think he might have lost that contest...sorry dad.

Steven is learning how to read and was showing Grandpa his new skills. He is learning so fast and is reading everything he can.

Dad was brave and let Kevin get some use out of his motorcycle endorsement. I think we might be in trouble because Kevin had a lot of fun and was thinking of getting his own...Yikes!

There he goes...looking good babe!


Leah was loving having her Grandpa dote on her. He would tend to her every whim. She loved his beard and was always pulling it. I'm sure he did not mind. She has him wrapped around all of her fingers.

There she goes again.

Dad wanted to go to the beach to say he saw the ocean. So we went but he was the only one in work boots and jeans. But he was laughing when we were all covered in sand tryting to get it off. It was pretty funny though watching him try to walk through the sand in boots.


One of the kids favorite things we did with Grandpa when I asked them was play Candyland.

He lost everytime...what a good Grandpa. We had so much fun with him here it was really sad to see him go. Kate and I got to wave goodbye at two in the morning as he left for Michigan. We love you dad and are so glad you came...we had a great time.

If I didn't know the man with the beard personally, I might be very afraid! But we all know he's just a soft, lovable fur ball! Ha ha
