4th of July with Shannon & Brian's family

For the three day weekend Shannon and Brian came up from Las Vegas. They got here about bed time Thursday night. The babies did some sleeping in the car on the way up so they had some unwinding to do when they arrived. Blake was very interested in my new Glider when he saw his Dad try it out. 
He did pretty good for a very little boy. 
Pretty much first thing Friday morning it was walking time with Grandpa. 
In our neighborhood, all the homes have flags posted by our ward's YM for all the patriotic holidays. 
It really looks nice to have the flags uniformly posted in front of all the homes.

 Across the street from where I work, a heavy road equipment sales and rental business moved in a few months ago. They have big equipment parked in front of their building. I knew Buddy would love going there. We drove over there and no one was in sight. He got to climb on a few of the big machines.






 Little Miss.

Mima - well she is just a cutie. I really love having a granddaughter.

We bought a few water toys last year and finally got them out this year. 
We took Buddy to the Children's Museum that we have taken Corinne's boys to that they really enjoy. 
We think Blake enjoyed it too. 
 I didn't get to go with Corinne's boys last year because I was recovering from surgery
 so this was all new to me.
 This is Maggie the cow. You can milk her. Buddy is checkin it out.

 Brian is giving Mima a milkin lesson.
 Buddy is a pro.

Fred and I displayed pretty good grandparent skills when we told Brian and Shannon they could take off a few times and leave the babies behind. We remembered how to change diapers, feed babies, fix bottles and play with babies. We even got hugs from Buddy and Mima was smiling and not crying for her Mommy.
 It was a good weekend.
