We had such a fantastic time visiting Grandma and Grandpa this year. The kids were at the perfect age to go away and Breanna joined us which made it all a bit easier!
The kids even had a blast at the airport watching the planes load up and take off….
They did pretty well in flight. Joey was happy on his iPad and eating snacks. Benji was a little more restless but did well!
We got to Grandma and Grandpa’s new house just in time for Shabbat. Grandma made quite the spread, of course!
Cupcakes for dessert!
On Saturday, Benji was in the pool by 7AM. He LOVED the water!
After everyone else woke up and had breakfast, we headed to the train museum (one of their favorite places) for a morning of fun.
Best buddies
Enjoying the sand
Benji was all about the carousel while Joey was happy watching and eating a snack.
Back to the pool post-nap!
On Saturday night we went out to dinner with Ron & Bev while the kids stayed home with Breanna. The quiet time was nice!
On Sunday, we headed to their country club for the annual Easter brunch. The kids had so much fun racing up and down the hill they didn’t need anything else to keep them occupied…
Benji checking out the baby chicks
Photo Opp
Not in the mood for any more photos….
Pizza making on Sunday night!
On Monday we went Wildlife World. We were expecting a zoo but it was much more interactive and hands on for the kids. They had such a great time!
Getting a sky-high overview of the park before we really began exploring.
Peacocks were running around the park. This is as close as Benji would get to them, though.
Checking out the alligator
Greg feeding the giraffes (neither kid was interested in trying it themselves)
Joey and Benji really loved the turtles and couldn’t believe how big they were.
Taking a tour of the safari park. The not-so-friendly-ostriches got up close and personal.
Benji kept telling the driver to keep it moving….
Lunch with the sharks
On Tuesday and Wednesday we checked out the different parks and pools in the neighborhood.
The zero-depth pool was great and both kids spent a few hours in it.
We were all having a blast until Benji pooped in the pool….
Benji napping in a big boy bed!
Picnic in the park before heading to the airport
Taking a stroll with Grandma and Grandpa
Thanks for such an awesome week Grandma and Grandpa! We can’t wait to see you again soon!
