What a fun day with C. J. and Justin in town!

C. J. and Justin came in to town for a short weekend visit. Mindy arranged for the family to meet at the Training Table to have lunch. Jeff G. and Jeff H. were able to get off work and have lunch with us and then they both had to go back to the salt mines.

We had to take a picture or two of Grayson eating this huge hamburger. Watching him trying to eat it without everything dripping out the bottom. I think he just about downed the whole thing. I’ve never seen him eat so much at one sitting.

After lunch we everyone came over to our home to visit and play games.

You can see this is a very serious and thoughtful game. It is a new game that Emmi got for Christmas called Blockus.

The game Blokus can only house four people so Annie, Mallory and I played Yatzee

I had to take a picture of this. Grayson, River and Andrew asked if they could build a hut using chairs, pillows and blankets. I so remember as a child building tents out of blankets and chairs. I also remember when mother would have a quilt going in the front room that I would play under the quilting frames for hours. What is it about a home made tent to crawl into. I think every child loves to build them and play in them.

Fun pictures taken just before everyone had to leave. Jeff H. and Jeff G. both had to work and Maren and her family couldn’t join us either. Maren had worked all night last night and had to go to work again tonight so wasn’t able to come in.

We were so grateful that we got to spend a few hours with our two oldest grandsons. We love them so much and miss them greatly. C. J. and Justin are both getting close to graduating from college. Justin from Washington State University majoring in Public Affairs and C. J. at Multnomah Bible College studying ministry. We are so proud of both of you and love you very much.
