On Saturday, we went to my cousin Kyle's graduation party. It was soooo cold. Seriously, it was in the 50s. Todd and I were not dressed for it, but luckily I did have a jean jacket for me in the car. The kids had sweatshirts on and I had a blanket around Gavin. Poor Todd was in short sleeves and had blue lips. The kids were sooo good and Gavin even had a little ice cream treat. Those grandpa's sure like being sweet to their grandsons =)
Dylan had a blast on the playground going down the slides, swings and also playing in the sand. I think his favorite thing was being the keg boy. RELAX>>.. it was a keg of root beer, but he loved it. He was great at making rootbeer floats too. We also went down by the river and that was pretty neat.
Later we went over to Todd's parents house. We hung around outside and played basketball, watched Dylan ride his bike and also went for a walk. Denny was dog sitting the neighbors so we all went down there and walked around the neighborhood. When we got back, we played on the computer and I showed Denny/Maxine how to upload pictures on Craig's list. Grandpa was a favorite that night. Gavin fell asleep on him and he also gave Dylan some cookies. How sweet...
We also enjoyed Maxine's taco dip and chocolate covered strawberries.The next morning, they did chickens and I stayed home with the kids and Austin. We met them for lunch when they were done. It was nice seeing Fred and Marienne too. After lunch, we went over to Austins, so Dylan could jump on the trampoline. He had a blast. We even had Gavin on it for a little bit.
Then, we went swimming at Grandpa Dolphin's house. Man oh man, was that nice. The water was really warm. Gavin was in for a little bit, but then he got tired, so Maxine cradled him. I think she enjoyed that. Todd, Austin, Dylan, Denny and me stayed in the pool. Dylan really loved it. As it started to get cooler, we decided to go inside and Denny/Maxine grilled out. We also wanted to go over to my parents house, so after dinner we packed up and went over there. It was still light out, so we went to the duck pond. Dylan LOVED feeding them. It was pretty cute. We also had his bike with us because he wanted to show grandma and grandpa. It was fun watching him ride around...
SMILE Todd..
It started to get cooler, so we went over to mom/dads for strawberry shortcake. No wonder the lbs are hard to come off. I feel we are constantly eating, but it was so good. Dylan tried the strawberries, but didn't like them. He did like the ice cream though.
We stayed for a few hours and headed back home. It was rainy a lot, but I didn't mind it. I think its pretty cool looking at the lightening. All in all, a great weekend. Next week, we are heading to DSM for the Keagan/Kade/McKenna's combined birthday. We also plan on seeing one of Keagan's baseball games too. I'm looking forward to it =)
