Year 8 – Week 39 – Day 2

We have been counting down the days for months and it is finally here! Trip to Gramma’s house! Wednesday the 17th, we caught an early flight. Like peel the boys out of bed at 4am and get to the airport early. Brendan seems pretty chipper for such an early morning.

We arrived in time for afternoon showers. The boys immediately donned their raincoats and ran around in the the soft green grass.

Thursday, Erin and the boys came to visit. The stairs turned into a hotwheels raceway.

Friday we decided to try the “Barefoot Bay” in Mundelein. It was pretty splashtastic. Since the weather was so hot and humid, the cool pool was the place to be.

Gramma didn’t want to get her hair wet! Ha ha!

That isn’t wet, it is drenched!

Caleb and Rhys joined us at the pool.

The boys got Gramma back under the dumper-buckets!

Flying Brendan!

Cannonball!!

Stingray Caleb

Bubbly Rhys!

Trevor was “doing the worm” underwater

Time to float down the lazy river. We only went around six or seven times!

Rhys getting a power washing

Re-fueling some hungry boys!

Poor Gizmo has been overwhelmed with the number of loud rowdy boys in the house. The boys also are trying to give him some quiet attention.

Gramma has a beautiful new remodel in her family room! It is so different!

We have a busy exciting week ahead!

Year 8 – Week 38 – Day 1

Someone is excited about the trip coming up…

In the meantime, we spent some time at SeaLife

While we were at the mall, we hit the Crocs Outlet.

We tried our hand at homemade pretzels so Brendan could make a “Flowey”. (He is excited to play the game “Undertale” with his cousin!
