GREAT-Grandparents

While poor Andrew worked and worked this past weekend, the kids and I had lots of fun spending time with my parents and grandparents. 

Friday we dropped Andrew off at at school and headed to my grandparents house in Avon Lake. We ate a yummy lunch with them and then headed to the Cleveland Aquarium. What a treat that was for us! 

Both kids thought the displays were impressive, but McKenna especially was in her happy place. She was running around, pointing and excitedly yelling "fish!" essentially the entire time we were there. I don't know if I've ever seen her more excited to be somewhere in her life. She was a happy little girl!

Jake was also really impressed. He liked the turtles, which he thought looked like dinosaurs, the shark tank and tunnel (which was my favorite), and especially the sting rays. He was able to put his hands in the water to "touch" them as they went by, but I'm pretty sure he was splashing a little too much for any of the sting rays to actually touch his hands. But boy was he happy there. We went through the aquarium twice, and both times we had to pry him away from the tank after letting him spend way longer there than anyone else was interested in spending. It's always fun to see your kids so happy and experiencing new things with people you love. 

After a fun afternoon with my grandparents, we headed to my parents house for the rest of the weekend. They spoil the kids (and me) rotten just like their great-grandparents. Jake and McKenna loved having grandma and grandpa dote over them. They especially like when grandpa and grandma let them walk the dog around the block.  Both kids are always happy to hear were going to grandma and grandpa's house, and it never seems to disappoint! Grandparents and great-grandparents are the best!
