over the river and through the woods...

to grandmother's house we go! The boys and I spent a few days visiting Gram and Grandpa H in Washington State. It was kid heaven.


Playing on the dock, watching the boats go by...and very excited when it was time for their own boat ride...
Blackberry picking. Aidan ate most of his blackberries. Conner had a plan for his...(note the deer in the upper right corner)

Gram's birthday cake, decorated by Conner...

The finish of a lovely birthday dinner celebration...

Exploring the local nature center...

Lots and lots of treasure collecting...(managed to talk them out of bringing anything that still had eyes on it home in the suitcase)

Another boat ride and a lesson on fire building with Grandpa Howard. This was followed by marshmallow roasting. Conner "accidentally" burned most of his. Aidan learned the fine art of removing the crispy, yummy outer layer to reveal the smooth insides...

Thanks Gram and Grandpa H. for a wonderful visit...
