BLOGGER CATCH-UP: Babes in the 'Burgh

Brian and Emily were here last weekend with Katy and David. We went to the pool on Saturday, and Sunday we made an exciting trip to Costco, went to lunch at Bar Louie, cut the grass, rolled down the hill, and made a scrumptuous chicken dinner. Here are a few excerpts from our weekend.

Here's Katy eating Saturday morning waffles from a Jimmy Buffet plate with a parrot on it and wearing a bib made out of "Red Hat Society" fabric. What could be more classic Opa & Oma?!!

Katy and David really liked the Cranberry Water Park. We found a shady spot under an umbrella.

David and I hung out for a while eating fish crackers while other people were in the pool. Oma did eventually get a turn and tried out the way cool slide - - - several times!

David liked the fish crackers . . . a lot. Below you can see David doing a little dance by the outdoor shower beside the sand area. I don't know who does his choreography, but this is pretty good.

Many of you have heard about the legendary "Cat in the Hat" topper that Greg wears when he cuts our grass . . . with a push mower. He runs up and down our hill to keep the momentum going, and Katy found this part of the job to be a lot of fun. She chased Opa up and down a ba-zillion times skipping and talking as she went.

Later, Brian tried his hand with the blocks. He successfully built a tower using every single piece of material in the canister. Isn't this amazing?

I always really enjoy having visitors, but this was a particularly fun time with the kids and grandkids. I will look forward to seeing them again in a few weeks when we head to Columbus. Until then, it's Skype and blogging to keep in touch. Thank goodness for technology, or I would be so sad.
