What a week! We had family come to visit! YAY! Jerusha came out to visit Oriah, and Oriah being the great sharer that she is, drove down to bring the visit to us! A competitive game of Ticket to Ride naturally broke out.
Rewinding back a bit, the kids built a fort one day, and Jelly got a little playful on the edges. This is the claws out kind of playful... so you gotta be careful when you walk by. But she looked cute.
Grayson continues to think that he doesn't need a nap, but actually really does. So he often gets really tired and just lays down with his blankie in random places. Like the front door mat!
Monica did some work out in the garden... er... side of the garage. It's the current garden spot, but we're looking to expand. Grayson came out and helped the whole time too. I loved him running around with his gloves on.
Brooke had a volleyball game while everyone was here. She did great, had a great time, and everyone loved watching.
Grayson and William had a good time hanging out at the game. After the game we played some backyard volleyball and many other games. All in all it was a very fun Saturday.
Jelly was very popular, and after a little bit of time she warmed up to everyone and enjoyed being pet and played with.
On Sunday we went to the first ward in our building so we could get out earlier to head to Louisiana for spring break. During sacrament meeting they called up all the primary kids, and Brooke and Winry went up and joined everyone, and then even sang a song with them! We just fit right in.
Fast forward a few hours and we're on our way in the car. Everyone did well in the car, so that was great. Winry enjoyed a nap along the way. A little outside of Austin we drove by a place called Frebo Zoo which I guess has animal "pens" up by the road for people to look at while they drive by. I looked them up online, and it's just those pens to view from the road, but pretty interesting to see. There were zebras, bison, and some deer like animals I don't know the names of.
Grayson is pretty good in the car, even on a long drive. He had some dinosaurs in his backpack that Monica packed and had a great time when we surprised him with those.
Along I 10 is the 3rd longest bridge in the US. It is 20 miles long, and was along our route. Grayson, the bridge lover, was very excited about it. Personally, I'd say it's a little less exciting than other shorter bridges we went over. My reasoning is that it's still got land/trees all around it, it runs through swamp land though. So a lot of it is over water, but there are even places were it's over land that I'm guessing just isn't stable at all. Anyway, still cool to go over such a huge bridge.
