It was a Tuesday night when it sunk in for John that he was going to be home solo with the kids on Saturday and Sunday. Having not seen his parents for several months, he gave them a call and asked if they'd be interested in visiting for the weekend. They hardly hesitated and didn't even need to confer, they were in! While they may not be the fastest to get out of the house in the morning, they are amazing in their willingness to jump up and visit (especially when they know they can be of help).
A trip to the apple orchard was a must:
They also treated John and me to a rare mountain bike together, dinner out with Cousin Chris, and lots of snuggles and reading. And on Monday morning, Cal was so proud to show them her school!
So while Cal and Hazen hung out with their grandparents, making smores by the fire (in our new firepit), reading tons of stories, and showing off their new found interests, I was able to spend a few days camping with these lovely ladies. Even though Cal can give me a hard time for going away, I think she actually gets how wonderful these gals our. All I need to do is show her the alpaca blanket that many of them knit for her before she was born and she seems to understand..........
