I pulled the boys out of school early on Tuesday! They didn't want to ruin their perfect attendance records...so we made a deal. They went for half of the day & then I picked them up. Showing up for roll call in the morning allowed them to keep their perfect attendance record. Amazing what a little certificate that reads "%100 percent attendance" does for motivation. We headed down to my parents house for a quick day trip!
We had a great time. All of the cousins were there. They spent the entire time out front playing football, basketball, riding bikes, skateboarding, taking turns pulling the wagon, & many games of good ole' chase.
Uncle Tyson even pulled out his micro midget & took it for a few runs up & down the street. The older boys cheered him on. Brody cried. It was loud.
Did I mention that his micro hauls? That baby is fast. Hence the blurry photo. I wasn't able to set my camera to the right setting fast enough. Oh well!
I am so glad we made the trip down there. We were able to spend time with the Shore side of the family & catch up with everyone. It was so GREAT to see my brother Tyson. The boys loved hanging out with him & were so excited when he ran to the store to buy a football for all of his nephews to play with. Grandma & Grandpa could not find theirs. Uncle Ty saved the day! Thanks Ty!
I am so grateful that I can hop in my car & arrive @ my parents house in about two hours. It was a wonderful day/evening. Garrett woke up this morning & the first thing out of his mouth was "Are we going to Grandma Sandy's house today"?
