A Visit to Grandma & Grandpa's House

After Cherry Hill, the kids and I went down to Grandma & Grandpa Sanderson's and came home on Wednesday. The kids keep so busy when we are there! They just bounce from one thing to another. They love the horse, the Nintendo, the computer and the dirt! Grandpa taught Carter how to drive the lawnmower and had him mow at home and the car wash. This was definitely the highlight of his trip!

He ran into the fence the first swipe down the lawn and I almost had a heart attack (and probably Dad, too). But Dad was very patient and walked the whole lawn with him! Carter did a really good job! When he did the lawn at the car wash, Carter just took off like it was nothing! Kind of like riding a bike.

Dad even taught Hali to drive and she pretty much went in circles, but loved every minute of it!

They love to get out all the old trucks and play in the dirt. We had lunch outside one day since the kids so dirty. Paige looks like she has war paint on her face! They were hot and sweaty and would wipe their faces with dirty hands and they came in filthy!


I made a blanket 17 years ago before I left for college with my Aunt Kathy. It was looking so sad and was beyond repair. I hated to get rid of it, so Mom helped me give it a face lift! I bought a couple of sheets and recovered it and now we have a nice warm blanket to take to baseball games. And it looks a whole lot better!
Dad bought fireworks for the kids to do one evening. They absolutely love the snaps every year, or "snappers" as Hali likes to call them. They had fun with the sparklers, too.
