We just had a wonderful week with Grandpa Randy. He came up for a visit last week from Tampa, Florida. This is a picture I took of the kids at the park with him. He comes to visit every summer and the kids always look forward to him spending time with our family. Time always seems to fly when we have company, and this is another example. He flew back home Saturday morning. Grandpa we love you and look forward to your next visit.

UP they go........
FURTHER....
FURTHER.....
All the way to the TOP!!!!!
AND DOWN they come!......Straight drop
The looks on their face was priceless....My little girl didn't flinch, and wanted to go again, I was just praying that the thing did indeed stop at the bottom.
Just before they peeled Jamie off the ride...
We took a picnic dinner to the park. When we started getting ready to eat I looked down to find a little sparrow waiting for the left overs. I was able to get within a couple of feet of it and couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of this little guy...he was adorable.
When you have had a long day, and everyone is exhausted something funny is bound to happen, at least that's the case in our family. We get home from "KD" and everyone is beyond exhausted. FOR ONCE, I actually went to sleep without tossing and turning for hours, contemplating the day, tomorrow, and life in general. I finally went to sleep somewhere around eleven....only to be awaken at one in the morning by someone tapping on my bedroom door. I think to myself, incoherently, great....Breezy is having a nightmare from the rides today. So I open the door to see what looks like a refreshed Bre standing there and telling me, "Mom, I need you to come help me play this game..I need your help." I am sitting there thinking, with all the thought I could muster at that point...."WHAT?"....she keeps repeating herself and all I can get to come out of my lips is ..."WHAT?"...finally after about the fifth time she gives up and says nevermind and goes back to lay down. Luckily the dog had slept all day while we were gone to KD, as he followed her into the living room where she crashed on the couch to keep an eye on her. She managed to let the dog out, leave the backdoor standing wide open....dog outside.....and passed back out on the couch, and didn't remember a THING when she got up. Norm had to get up to go to work and thought she had woke up early and let him out already, but after much discussion and I remember telling her to let him out....figured out he stayed out there all night and the backdoor was open since one in the morning.
She and Jordan have always been my sleepwalkers...but it's usually a long period in between when it happens..and I thank heavens we have dogs that will bark when you go to the door as frequent as a door alarm.
