A Labor Day Weekend Full of Surprises and Fun!

We didn't know exactly what we were going to do with our long weekend. Our school down here not only got Monday off for Labor Day, but we also got Tuesday for a Teacher Prep day. Our first long weekend and we weren't going home....hmmm....what to do? Little did I know Ben was keeping a secret. He is so good at that. Saturday about 4:30 pm Isabelle comes running in our house screaming that Grandma and Grandpa in the mountains were here!!! WHAT!!!???

My Mom and Dad decided to surprise the kids and me, and boy did they. It was so nice to have them here. I can't believe my Dad came, last time I was in Utah he was still pretty much down. He got his last tube out Wednesday and was feeling pretty good so they came on down. We didn't do anything spectacular, but we did show them where the kids go to school, we went to church, played @ our favorite parks, and visited a lot. It was just a nice relaxing visit. We were sad to see them leave, but can't wait until they come again!!

Then we decided to head to St. George Monday and Tuesday and visit Ben's Grandparents. We ate dinner with them, visited, and watched some old home movies. Then we headed back to our hotel for some swimming and hot tubing!!
Don't know what we will do when Fletcher gets bigger, because right now these three fit perfectly in a bed.

Tuesday Ben had few meeting for work, so Grandma McGregor took us to an awesome park by her house. The kids had so much fun with her and at the park. We then headed to her house for lunch and some "Mr. Bean". I loved watching my kids and their Great Grandma getting to know each other better. Can't wait to go for another visit!! We had a great Labor Day weekend!!
