Day One - Grandma & Grandpa's Visit

Ben's father and step-mom came to visit and meet the children. They live in Minnesota, so it is very difficult for us to see them as often. The children had seen pictures and talked with them on the phone several times. Our first evening, Grandpa and Grandma came to the house to meet them. the children played with Grandma in their rooms, colored pictures, and more. Well, later they jumped Grandpa! They each love to take turns swinging and jumping on adults, especially males. I think they have learned they are the ones with the "mucho muscles!"



After a while, we went to feed the ducks in front of the hospital. That was fun, too! There were some cool looking ducks! Some with fur on their heads! It was fun, but didn't take long for us to get thru a few bags of leftover bread, rolls, and stale crackers!

We left the ducks to visit Ben's brother's family, and then went to Applebee's to eat. The children each got balloons! It was a great bonding experience. They enjoyed each other, and instantly recognized their grandparents. They really are loving and compassionate children. We are so blessed!
