We didn’t let a few super soggy balls get in the way of our plans of hitting the court.
Claire and Grandfather played together.
And yes, in case you were wondering, that was a chest pump up there.
Then my Dad and I teamed up to play against Elle and Dave.
Yeah, we weren’t kidding about playing soggy-ball tennis. We were out there for a while. And those two beat us like nobody’s business.
Next time I think my Dad better keep Claire as his partner 🙂
What else do you do when it’s gray and rainy? Go to Top Golf.
This place just opened near us and the kids think it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Sure I wish I had pictures with my Grandpa too and I usually get those when my Dad is in town too, but this time he was much too busy telling Lu something or other that apparently was of upmost importance:
Still waiting for those two:
…to join the group.
There we go.
Complete with funny faces too.
(Max and Elle are apparently much too mature for funny faces.)
And there’s one with Lu:
Gotta get their own daugher in there too.
And of course their favorite son-in-law.
Oh boy, I thank my lucky stars every single day for these two. (And that one on the left too…I get to be married to that guy. Every once in a while I pinch myself about that little fact.) So grateful for visits…even in the rain.
It was "a moment" that lasted three days! LOL!
If we didn't have any fun in the rain then I'm pretty sure we'd never leave the house in the Pacific NW! Looks like a fun weekend and I agree about wishing I had so many pics with my grandparents. And I think Max & Elle's faces ARE funny – it's the one I would have given in high school. I hope they just both did it organically without discussion, too funny.
Sounds like a great visit! Time with parents/grandparents is the best.
So I just finished reading your parents' book The Entitlement Trap, and I was telling my mom about it, and she said, "You remember we had one of their sons in Jerusalem, right?" My dad was a religion professor over there from 1999-2000, and I got to tag along with my parents and live there that year as a 9th grader. 🙂 My mom thinks maybe it was a Ben Eyre, is that right? Anyway, kind of fun to make that connection!
wow, your mom is gorgeous.
your Mom is a babe! sooo pretty!
