Friday's Funny~a special lady

While our doors swing open to one and all, over the Easter holiday it swung open to a very special lady...Grandma Iowa!  While we had just seen her in California in February, it was a super special treat to have her come out over the holiday & celebrate the Easter season with us.   Below are some pictures from her visit...

 We picked her up in Peoria and then headed home...Haven was asleep when Mom jumped in the car so when she woke up about 10 minutes from home, she got this great big smile on her face when she saw Grandma in the car ;)

 waiting for breakfast...Grandma Iowa may disown me for this picture! :)

dying Easter eggs on Saturday...

 tea parties in the playhouse...Grandma Iowa is so brave-she even climbed up on Haven's swing set & went DOWN the slide!!!

 we toured Watershed with Arlan and then headed to Subway for lunch...

 ...and HAD to stop at DQ on the way home :)

 Grandma showed Haven how to "make cookies" with play-dough

 we went bowling with some NPL bowling passes...Grandma Iowa was quite a bowler in her day but unfortunately even the bumper pads didn't help us beat Daddy---trust me, it still wasn't impressive...Daddy didn't break 3 digits :)

 we made a Starbuck's run before...

...taking Grandma Iowa to the airport :(

Thanks again for coming Mom...it is SO special when you come & we love having you!

Haven's memories from your trip:

1. Grandma went down the slide.

2. Grandma taught me how to blow your wrapper off your straw (at Olive Garden, no less) 

3. Grandma likes to shop!
