Playing With Pa

Pa is such a good sport! He lets the girls pretty much do anything they want to him! And they obviously have so much fun doing it. During our visit while Brian was in Brazil, Dad felt so good. He even babysat the girls one day while Mom and I went shopping. Madison slept most of the time, but he and Mack watched a movie & colored a bunch. When we came home, they were all three in the bedroom floor playing dollhouse. One night at bedtime, Madison was yelling "PA!" over and over from her bed, because she just knew he would come rescue her. (He didn't, because I said not to, but he would have if I would've let him!) Mackenzie LOVES playing with G-Ma's jewelry. A lot of it was G.G.'s and I know she would love it that the girls play with it. We rented a lot of movies during this trip. The girls watched their movies in Pa & G-Ma's room, and we watched Harry Potter in the living room. Dad had never seen any of them, so we decided to have a "Harry Potter Marathon!" It was a lot of fun! We made it through all 7 movies before the week was over. This was our longest trip of the summer. We were there for 9 nights. That seems like such a long time, but it always goes by so quickly. We didn't spend hardly any time outside because it was so hot...in the 100's every day. I will be glad when Fall gets here, just so it will cool off a little! We went over to Jimmy & Sara's house to celebrate Sara's birthday on Monday night. That is something Mackenzie will probably remember for a long time, because they let her wade around in thier pond and stream in the backyard. She LOVED it! I'm just glad she didn't fall in completely. Also on Monday, we went down to Anadarko to put flowers on Grandma Jean's grave. It is hard to believe she has been gone 4 years now. I still miss her so much & I think the thing that hurts the most is how much she would ADORE & LOVE the girls. Again, I was just reminded that we should make the most of every moment we are given, and thank God for the good things in our life!
That's a lap full of love, right there! The girls made a "train" and packed lots of things to take on their "trip." Oh, to have the imagination of a child!This is a blurry picture that I took with my phone, but I love it anyway.
