While we were away, the kids played and played and played

During the two weeks we were gone, the kids stayed with Stephanie and Lindsey Parker (Jason's sister), my parents, and Theresa came over to visit family and helped out. The kids loved going to the Discovery Children's Museum

and riding on TRAX.

They also loved bedtime rituals with Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Lindsey. Going to grandpa's and grandma's on the weekend was a special treat, literally, as I'm sure they were stuffed with all the fun things of life: cookies, candy, chips, etc. They LOVE going there! We missed Jackson and Kate so much!
