First, I have to say, Grandma Baker is THE BEST! Not only did she and grandpa fly all the way out here from Missouri to watch our 3 little handfuls, but she also documented it all for me! I asked her if she would piece together a blog post of their 7 day adventure and she did, along with pictures! I sure love her! Here is their week back in Utah while Rich and I were on our cruise:
The Great Grandparenting Adventure
We had a wonderful “grandparenting adventure” last month when Jessica and Rich went on their cruise! I must say we were a little apprehensive…what would we do for a whole week with three grandkids ages 3, 4 and 5? Well, we found plenty to do!
Mornings were a sleepytime…
Climbing in bed with grandma and grandpa.
We were slow to get up and around…but that was ok!
It took a long time to put together a giant puzzle one morning and then we found it had 1 piece missing. We found that all three kids are masterful at puzzles! (Side note: I was told that they later found the missing piece but by then Arabella had destroyed the puzzle.)
On Sunday it was a beautiful sunny day to go to church together.
We discovered a park up the hill from home and took a hike up to play in the sand.
We brought the kids bubble blowers so we spent one morning blowing bubbles and catching them!
The kids loved to bicycle and ride their scooters anytime of the day!
We discovered a great bowling alley on base and they had slides for the kids to roll their balls down…perfect!!
Oh there was so much to do! The kids loved being outside so we spent one morning playing baseball! Aidan was quite the hitter!
And Maya was quite the gymnast on her jungle gym!
Later we washed the windows to get ready to celebrate spring.
We hiked to the splash pad a block away and though the water wasn’t turned on yet, we pretended it was!
Later on, Maya wanted to plant pretty flowers so she picked out her favorites and we brought them home to plant.
Making Rice Krispie treats was a real “treat” for Arabella!
We made cookies too.
When our week was up we were sad to leave our Utah family but knew it wouldn’t be too long before we would have another adventure together!!
The End
Aren’t they the greatest? I know that there was so much more to be written about their adventures but here we got a little glimps into the great fun they had. Our kids had so much fun and still tell me all about the fun stuff that Grandma let them do. I don’t know if I can live up to her! We are so blessed to have the world’s best grandparents for our kids!
