Grandpa Phil Visits

Philip's dad came to visit before he deployed. We had a blast with him! His wife and daughter couldn't come and we missed them a lot. Here are some of the fun things we did with the grandpa while he was here.

Grandpa treated us to dinner at Steak n' Shake

We didn't end up making it to the beach with grandpa, but we still ate cookout style. The kids liked the smores and cooking over the fire.

We blessed William and did lots of Father's blessings before Philip left.

We took a family picture that night.

Philip's dad took him to work to say goodbye. Then we spent some time doing something the kids would most want to do. That's right, Grandpa treated them to an evening at Chuck E. Cheese's. They loved it and even told me later that they wish I was as nice as him and would take them there again.

I kept my father-in-law up way too late talking his ear off. I love talking with and learning from my in-laws. That is what I miss most about not living with them any more.  I really enjoy the times we do get to visit with them. I am very blessed to have them as family and I am very happy my children have them for grandparents.
