For the past couple of years since Shelby has been in elementary school, we have taken little trips over her Spring Break. We went to San Diego two years ago for Spring Break, and then last year we went to Sequoia National Park & Yosemite. Derek & I were kind of bummed this year that we couldn't go anywhere for Spring Break b/c he was on call, but we ended up having a super fun break after all thanks to grandparents visiting!!! :) My parents got here a couple days before the girls' Spring Break kicked off. It was my dad's first visit to this house and my mom's second, but she hadn't been here since the girls started school. Shelby & Hadley had the best time showing them their new school and getting to eat lunch with Grammy & Grampy in the cafeteria!
We took Grammy & Grampy to the Doseum one day while they were here & had lots of fun!
We also had our inaugural swim in our new pool with Grammy & Grampy (a separate post on that to come!), but mostly we just had fun doing our "regular life" with them while they were in town! Since living away from family for the past 12 years or so, I have found that we typically see family for "special occasions" or a holiday {which we're so thankful for!}, but it's also really nice to just share a little slice of our regular life with one another! It was fun to get to show them the girls' school, go to Soccer Shots & the library, & play at home. Grammy took Hadley to Claire's to pick out a birthday necklace one day & Grammy was the best sport over and let the girls play "salon" on her. We're so thankful to be able to share ordinary moments like these with grandparents!
A few days after Grammy & Grampy left, we welcomed Grandma & Granddad for their first visit to San Antonio! All three kids couldn't get enough of Grandma's baton when we visited them over Christmas, so she brought her baton along with her on this trip + a new baton for Shelby, Hadley, & Brady! They were ecstatic! And Granddad loves collecting coins & got the girls going on their first collection. I was blown away by how into it they were!! It's so special to have grandparents share their interests, passions, and talents with their grandkids!
We had so much fun with our visitors, but Daylight Savings + two sets of visitors + two kids with a little cough/congestion + a birthday + Brady starting swim lessons = whew! We are ready for a weekend with no plans!!!
