Grammie, Kiki and Layla

Grammie and Kiki and Layla bought tickets out to see us when they were on sale back in June I think. Boy did September sound really far away at the time, but before we knew it, it was time for them to come see us. We were so darn excited! It is so fun for us to have our family members come and see us. They only were staying for a few days so we really wanted to enjoy every minute! We didn't go do too much stuff, mostly we just hung out especially since the big girls had school and Kevy had to work. But we sure had a lot of fun with them. Probably one of the things that was the most fun was getting to see cute Layla. She sure is a busy britches, I forget sometimes how busy they are at that age, and silly Layla is extra busy. She reminds me so much of Lizzy at the same age. I thought my house was very kid friendly, and it is but it isnt Layla friendly. She just knows how to find things to get into. So funny. We sure loved having that little girl around though! It was also really nice to have visitors in our new house because there is so much room here.

I just love this picture of Gammie with Layla and Annie. It is so darn cute!

We took them to our favorite library park to let the kids play. It was funny to see Layla just running around from one thing to another.
On Saturday since Kevy and the girls were home, we took them down to Funderland. It is right next to Fairytale Town, but we have never actually been there and the girls have always wanted to go.

Janie saw this little fishy ride and she really wanted to do that by herself even though everyone else was going on the airplane ride. Jane is her own person and she doesn't care what everyone else does, she wants to do what she wants to do.

The big girls had fun on the airplanes

Russy enjoyed riding with his Daddy in the plane. He likes to do everything with Kevy. The funny thing with this ride was it said 175 lb. limit. Well we thought that was kind of silly and couldn't be right, but sure enough Kevy and Russy's plane would not go up. They had to low ride the whole time.

Annie was pretty good and chilled in her seat most of the time. But she does like to be held a lot.

Janie rode with Grammie on the train. Cute girls!

Kiki took the big girls on the rollercoaster. They sure had fun with their Aunt Kiki!

I got to take Russy and Janie on the carousel, and I was worried because all of the seats were taken so I had to put Russ on a pony, and he has not enjoyed the carousel in the past. Just a couple months before he got all freaked out at Chuck E. Cheese riding on the mini one. But there was no reason to worry he LOVED it. And showed no signs of being nervous. In fact everytime I would put my hand on him he would push it away like "no mom, I am a big boy!" He just did his cute chuckle the whole time. I love that!

Kiki took the big girls on the tea cups and it was a good thing because I hate those rides!

Russy was most excited about riding on this car, and Kevy said he was very serious the whole time with the steering wheel like he was really driving it.

 

I had to get a picture of Layla strapped in her stroller because it was the only time she really sat still.

The girls just loved having Grammie come and visit. It is hard not living by family sometimes because we justdon't get to see them enough!! Nellie wasn't in this picture because she was pouting becuase she wanted to go on another ride and we didn't have time.

After Funderland we took them to the airport so they could go home. It was way too short of a trip, but we sure had such an amazing time with them. We hope we get to see them again soon!! We had fun at the airport watching the planes take off. Russy thought it was pretty darn cool.
