Summer outing with Granny and Grandad

Bryan’s parents were in town the weekend of Andrew’s birthday party, and we all had such a nice time together!  We played ball in the yard, played Quirkle in the evenings, ate some good food, and went on an afternoon outing to Olbrich playground and gardens.  Here’s a few of the pictures from our time together.  Thinking back (it’s been a month), I just have a contented smile come to mind when I think about our weekend.

Here’s cute Sylvie…

Me and my sweetie.  We’ve been married 12 years!

Looks like Sylvia’s having Rodan fight the new dragon.  

Here we are at Olbrich park.  We enjoyed a picnic (compliments of the left over birthday party food), and we lay on our backs watching the sun shine through the trees.  Andrew and Sylvia climbed all over the playground, we played frisbee, and even tried out Andrew’s new purple soccer ball.

There’s me and my birthday boy.

There’s me and my strong girl.

Grandad and Sylvia walk through the gardens hand in hand.

Andrew and Sylvia love to play on the hosta leaf sculpture at the entrance to the gardens.

If we had unlimited funds, I’d have something similar created in our yard. It can be a slide or a ship or a cave or a snail.  The perfect play area for kids.

Here Andrew and Sylvia sit on top.

Love those kids!

Sylvia walks on Bryan’s feet.

There was a patch of sunlight shining directly on this hydrangea.   So beautiful with the dark and the light.

We took a tram ride around the gardens (I learned a lot from the tour).  En-route, Andrew took a couple pictures of LuAnn.  Love that he got her from his perspective:)

Thanks for a fun visit!  Today (July 27), Andrew and Bryan are heading down to Texas for the week.  It’s Andrew’s summer visit to Texas, and this year, he requested that it be a boys week.  So Bryan will be working remotely during the days and hanging out with his sweet parents in the evenings.  They should have a blast!  Thanks for a fun visit, Granny and Grandad!
