Grandma & Grandpa Young Visit–Summer 2012–Part 1

 

My parents arrived on Thursday afternoon before Labor Day.  We had a ‘meet the teacher’ event at the school on Friday and we needed ‘back-up’ care for Caelan so she wouldn’t be into everything in the classroom. 

 

When they arrived, there was a block party underway in our alley.  This has been a regular occurrence this summer.  We are going to be very sad when the rains come…..the boys were playing in the Maybell’s garage, and Caelan was drawing with chalk.

and scootering a little too, of course…..

It’s pretty hard to get a good shot of Brennan – he’s always going on that bike, and doesn’t want to take time out for a picture.

Books that night were read by Grandpa.  They read Brennan’s Star Wars book, and then the book of Nursery Rhymes – that will always be a favorite for Grandpa & Brennan – especially Baa Baa Blacksheep - and the little boy who lives ‘down the drain’ instead of ‘down the lane’.

Friday morning, Brennan Sean & I went to Grand Ridge to meet Brennan’s new teacher, Mrs Chen.  When we got home, Brennan went to work building a fort, and Caelan is always game for whatever he creates.  She was pretty pleased to be included, as you can see below.

The pictures below were taken after Caelan’s nap.  She was reading to her baby.

She’s pretty crazy about Elmo these days.  Here she is giving him a kiss.

On Friday night, my parents and I went to Teatro ZinZanni in Seattle, but unfortunately, they don’t let you bring in your cameras.  It was an amazing dinner/theater experience and well worth the $$$.  Highly recommend!
