Grandparent's Day

I don't think it's widely known, but today is Grandparent's day. Seeing that I am a fanatic when it comes to holidays, I look forward to each September when we get to honor our parents for being such wonderful Grandparents. Our boys have been very blessed with Grandparents who stay actively involved in their lives and are just plain crazy about our kids.

Every year my sister Rachel and I get our boys together for a picture as a gift to my Mom, Step-Father, and Dad, and each year we take it in a new location. Seeing that the kids are still really young, and we hadn't gotten them coordinating clothes when it was almost time to take their picture, we decided to put them in a bubble bath.

For my In-laws I used a picture that was taken this summer in Minnesota. Vince has one sister who lives out of state, so it's not as easy to get all of the grandkids together.

HAPPY GRANDPARENT'S DAY!!!

Minnesota: Part 3

A few weeks before our arrival, my in-laws purchased a play-house for the grandkids. In order to make it a little more homey, the grandkids put on Home-Depot hats and their grandfather's T-Shirts and painted the inside. They took it pretty seriously and actually did a good job!

The following day we went to a cute little town called Nisswa and spent the day shopping. Outside one of the shops was a mechanical horse and it only cost 10 cents a ride.

We were in Paul Bunyan land, so Blue the ox was also there on display.
