WE WANT SPRING!!!

Yes, the background is wishful thinking... "Come to us, Spring, come!"

So, my Dad came down to visit us this weekend, and we had a blast!  He ate lunch with the kids at school, had a sleepover at the hotel with them on Friday night, brought a dragon cake and "Pete's Dragon" to watch, and showed us all his mad Twister skills!  He also gave the kiddos a really awesome butterfly kite!

So, we took the kite out Tuesday evening (after Grandpa left, because it had been too windy).

After we were done flying, we decided to hit the swings. 

Janey was a bit nervous at first, since she's never wanted much to do with them before...

(look real close at her face)

but, as you can see, she was soon loving it!  Thanks Daddy!

Since the focus on my camera is difficult to manage now, some of the shots are a little blurry.

WATCH OUT!

Don't mind the blur... look at that awesome hair!

By the time we were done, we had a family of popsicles.  Yes, the day looks nice and springy, but the wind sure made it cold!  Here is Janey saying "Hold me PLEASE!"

So, we went home for some hot chocolate and snuggling in blankets together on the couch!!

Thanks so much Grandpa for all the fun!!  We love you and miss you already!

p.s.  I tried to upload a pic of you "twisting," but it wouldn't rotate it right! 

Another time...
