Visit with Grandma

Peter's Mom paid us a visit this past week while the kids were on Fall break. What a fantastic time we had with her. Peter, Mom, and the kids went to a farm and corn maze out in Queen Creek (I had to stay home and work on homework). There was a lot of stuff to do there, and the weather was still pleasant the day they went. Mom F took each of the kids out for special "alone-time with Grandma" trips. Friday, she took Jeremiah to see 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and out to lunch. They went to Country Buffet and Jeremiah gorged himself on a LOT of food. Grandma had to cut him off at one point. On Saturday, it was Alayna's turn. Grandma took her to the AZ Museum for Youth and out to lunch as well. The kids love spending this kind of quality time with Grandma. Of course, because the weather really heated up over the weekend, there was some swimming. The climax of the visit was a trip to Canyon Lake yesterday morning/afternoon. It was hot, 90 by 11am. We rented a motorboat and cruised the lake for an hour. It was awesome. A nice, cool breeze, and lots to see. We had so much fun! Then, we went to Goldfield Mine (ghost town in Apache Junction) and had a picnic lunch. We got home in time for a quick afternoon swim. We had such a great visit with Grandma. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive and loving extended family!!! We wish we could see them more, but we are thankful we have the opportunity to see them as often as we do!

Fun on the Farm
