Our precious Grands from Midland, Morgan, Emma, and Viola, are moving to Boise, Idaho. So you can imagine this Spring visit is extra special, and we gave it a go to pack in all we could.
A favorite activity is exploring the woods. So we got in plenty of exploring, discovering such treasures as Papa Wes's junk pile and a deer skeleton.
The tree saw is used to mark the path. They are still getting plenty of mileage out of their dad's old 'fort'.
Yes, parents, we do load test the old nylon rope before letting them on it!
Explorer buds.
Though I will say the pond is so low that you really don't swing out over the water at this point.
While Papa Wes escorts the explorers, GG hangs with Viola in the safety of the yard.
Another rope their dad attached.
One night we got to hear the Mwangaza Children's Choir from Uganda. It was a treat and a learning experience.
They really put on a show. It was exhausting just to watch. And powerful testimonies of God's grace in their lives.
Next mornin', Papa Wes is makin' WAFFLES! And I'm wearin' my Easter Bunny apron!
The Happy Waffle Chef.
This day we made a run to Georgetown to the large playscape at San Gabriel Park.
It was hard to catch them long enough for a pic.
Like I said, it is a large and impressive playscape. A LOT of custom design with historical and cultural references.
Yes, they were having fun!
After our picnic lunch at the park, we headed to the square in Georgetown, and took a quick visit to the restored County Courthouse.
Someone was overheard saying, "Nothing more dangerous than a grandmaw with her grandchildren in a candy store." We visited the Toy Store and the Candy Store, and everyone got a treat.

With the sun sinking, we took the opportunity to get a bluebonnet picture.
Our hearts are full, and so very thankful for our kids and grandkids!
