It's always fun for everyone when Grandparents come!

January 21-28th, Grandpa and Grandma Larson came to visit!We just LOVE when they come to visit! Our boys countdown the days until they'll get here, and then countdown the days until they have to leave.


We didn't get too many pictures while they were here, and although this one is blurry, I just LOVE it! It shows Andrew's dad, who is ALWAYS playing with the boys. He will be so creative and play for an hour with something like a paper towel roll! Or painted pine-cones, or ANYTHING! His garage is full of the "wall of fame", and he is always looking for fun, new, nick-knacks to show his grandkids. One favorite, which Cooper will NEVER forget, is the gorilla mask! He once spent about a half hour video-chatting with my boys on the computer with a puppet parrot! 

Besides getting the Gargunda pizza (yes 34 inches of goodness) at Monetti's, and watching one of Coop's basketball games, we also got spend a few nights at GREAT WOLF LODGE! The indoor waterpark/hotel. I just think our boys are so lucky to have grandparents that will hit ALL the slides with them! Gunner even got more and more brave, doing all the slides this time! We had a fun room with a few separate bedrooms, got amazing take-out from Famous Daves BBQ, and even did some shopping, scoring some deals at the Gap Outlet. I love that my mother-in-law loves to shop, and will always help me find good deals! 
They do a fun story-time each night and the statues come alive in a fun song and show. 
Wiley the Wolf!
We decided a week is just not long enough for them to come! I am finally getting around to blogging about their visit in January, and they are about to come again! We are so excited for them to come May 6-16. This time we are planning on a Royals game, church history at Independence and Liberty (we live right here... so come and see it everyone! :)), and a tour of the B-2 stealth bomber. They'll also be here for Beckett's first birthday and Cooper's preschool graduation.
