Gaga and Grandpa Come to Visit

During the second half of the boys' winter break Gaga and Grandpa came to visit from Florida.  We had a great time, with many fun adventures.  The first evening was Gaga's birthday, and we celebrated with a cake.  In the morning, we headed to the children's museum in Columbia.

They love the fire station exhibit

And look who was there - a real fireman!  Anson was in heaven!

Grady really enjoyed the cafe

The farm was also a hit - here is Anson in the milking area

There is a giant boy you can climb inside!

Dr. Grady loved being a vet

Anson also enjoyed it

And Anson got to "drive" a real car!

The next day we headed to the Pavilion, where the kids could play with "snow", ice skate, and use the very nice bounce house.

Grady really enjoyed ice skating

The next day Grady went fishing with everyone (Gaga and Grandpa bought him a fishing pole!) while I took Anson to his friend Frankie's birthday party.

We all met up for dinner later.  Anson had a new look:)

On Sunday we headed to Devil's Fork Sate Park for some hiking on a beautiful day.

And another - there were quite a few!

It was beautiful!

It was a wonderful end to a great visit from Gaga and Grandpa!  Thanks for coming!
