Grandma & Grandpa Bennett. . .

Every year that we have been married we have been so lucky to have a visit from Chris's parents! It is a LONG trip, and it's expensive and takes a bunch of preparation for them to get here....we are so grateful that they make this HUGE effort and come all the way here to our home every year!!! They are the world BEST long distance Grandparents ever!!! This year they were able to come out West for Beenz Baptism!

While they were here we did so many fun things. . .We went down town and looked at all the cool doors and had lunch!!Played lots of games. . .Celebrated Chirs's Birthday!!Watched Beenz tennis lessons!

Went to Wild Life Images...which was super fun! You drive through the animal park and get to see all sorts of different animal

...that is why Moosee is in the front seat on Chris's lap... At W.L.I.'s they also have a fun petting zoo. The kids loved this, Moosee loved the goats and kept saying...I need it mama, I take it home?! Pretty cute!! We also got to ride the little train ride, for free and Mase even got to help drive...pretty cool!! We went to the Lake for the day! Grandma and Grandpa were such good..fun sports and both took turns riding the tubes with the grand kids! I'm not sure that we will get Grandma on it again because as they were pulling her in she says....

"That was a little to much for Grandma!!!"

Who was driving the boat anyway.... The kids love to just to swim in the middle of the lake!! Of course Chris has to do back flips of the top of the boat rack!! He's crazy!! Moosee is OBSESSED with ears...why...no one knows! Once you get to ear massaging status with Moose, you know that she loves you dearly!! Cousin Logan became the favorite!!! She loves to rub you ear when she is tired! Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Aubum all made it to this status!! We all went camping at the coast! It was the week of 109 temp.'s here so to get away to the 60's and 70's at the coast was nice! We took the kids to the play group and Grandpa and Chris, of course play all the goofy games...Chris always tries to get me to play them with him, but since he always wins it just not that fun anymore...so thank heavens his Dad was around to be his victim!Chris also started a game of tag on the play ground, with all us adults! The poor children that were actually trying to play on the play ground were scared by all these adults running full speed and yelling and laughing! We even got some of the kids there to join in! Of course every time Aunt Aubum got tagged she would go for Mase, the easiest prey!! It was alot of fun!!Moosee and Logan because the best little buds!! At our camp site they collected little pincones forever!!We played on the beach! It's was a beautiful day!!Swimming in the Ocean in Oregon is a sign of a true Oregonian!!!!We went and explored the tide pools!! They are so cool!!We ate Watermelon and Chris even made us a fire on the beach...that was fun!!We celebrated Beenz birthday and Grandma even treated the little birthday girl to her first pedi!!!We had Chris's and Beenz family birthday parties together!!!And most importantly they were here for Beenz baptism!! It was so special to have them there and to participate is such a special day in Beenz life!!!

This is what all the kids do the day they leave!! Mase hid in the coach and would not show his face!!! They cried and cried!!!

We love them so much and are so grateful for their visits!!!

Can't wait to see ya again!!!
