Grandpa & Grandma B's

The kids and I spent a good chunk of last week with my parents in Nebraska while Tyler was at a ECC conference in Minneapolis. There were all sorts of new experiences and adventures while we were there.

First Slush
Grandma B bought Addilyn her very first strawberry slush from Sonic. Here's her first sip.

Not exactly sure what to think at first.

Wait...that's really good.

Mmm...I think I'll have some more.

Entertaining Asher while he ate.

And look at all he ate! This was the first time he finished an entire jar of baby food in one setting. He didn't seem to know what the fuss was about.

Bath time.

Sprinkler Park/Playground

While grandma was at an in-service, the kids and I went to play at the sprinkler park. Addilyn thoroughly enjoyed the water. You can almost hear her screaming.

Asher watching Addilyn run and play in the water (with his one shoe).

He was fairly determined to climb the rollerslide. I was a little nervous because Addilyn got her finger stuck in this very same slide when she was Asher's age.

Playing with gears.

Backyard Pool

Grandpa and Grandma B bought an inflatable pool for the kids' visit. Addilyn took great joy in filling up the pool (and watering the lawn).

Soaking in the pool later that day (once the water had, had a chance to warm up a little).

Playing with the hose.

She was fairly certain she could drain the pool with that little cup. She might have gotten it done had I let her continue.

Climbing.

Addilyn watering the plants with the water from the pool. She really enjoyed this too. Seriously, give my kids a cup and some water and they'll be as happy as can be.
