Great-Grandparents and Pumpkin Patches

Pictures!

We had such a special weekend with great grandparents and the kids. We were fed like kings and taken to parks. I even got a nap (or two?). I wish we could spend a lot more time with our grandparents.

  2. Loved these pictures! I laughed when I saw the dino costume because it reminded me of this post I read a few weeks back. I thought you’d get a laugh out of it too. http://www.hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2013/10/menace.html
