Tuesday they came over to our house, and we played games and spent lots of time outside coloring the street with chalk and riding bikes. Grandma is an amazing artist, and she and the girls made some beautiful chalk creatures.
We've had a great time playing with Aunt Marcella's dogs, Daisy (a lab/retriever mix) and Little Louie (a miniture Italian greyhound). Jadyn has been a bit hesitant to play with the dogs - the first few times she did they were still very young puppies and wouldn't stop jumping up on her, which is a bigger deal when you are under four feet tall and dogs jumping up reach your face. But this week she spent some time in the yard with Grandpa and practiced giving the dogs commands to keep them from jumping up on her. Within a short time, she was playing fetch with Daisy worry-free. Thanks for the help grandpa!
Karina still isn't quite ready to play with the dogs alone, but she had a great time playing inside with her cousing Ben and everyone else, too. We played lots of old games - Operation, Shutes & Ladders, and Checkers. Grandpa and Mark cooked up a big meal last night, too - we had lots of pasta, sauce, chicken, and sausage. Thanks for a great time!
Today we head down to Boehm's in Issaquah for a tour. Boehm's is a really neat, really yummy chocolate store/factory that has been around for over 66 years. Our kids have never taken the tour, so it should be a very fun day. I'm sure we'll walk away with a little extra chocolate, too...
How could we resist?!
