Grandpa Bob & Grandma Mindy

We were all very happy to have Grandpa Bob and Grandma Mindy come to town for a couple days.

My dad had told Mindy that he wanted a humvee for his birthday a few years back. She complied by giving him this one. He enjoyed it for a few years and decided to pass it on to his grandkids to enjoy. Watch out neighbors! This will also give you a rare glimpse into what it's like having three boys.

We all attended Parker's basketball game in the afternoon. It was Parker's last game of the season so it was extra special to have grandpa and grandma there.

One of the traditions my dad has when he comes to visit is "the coin drop". At home, whenever my dad gets spare change, he puts it in a jar. So, when he comes to visit he brings all the change he's saved up to share with the kids. The process goes like this. He dumps all the change in the center of the floor. Then, Bennett gets a handicap of one minute to grab as much as he can get. Then the other kids can grab away. They, of course, love this tradition.

After we discovered that Bennett ended up with almost $10 more than the other kids, it was determined his handicap would be shortened next time. This is one of those times it actually pays to be the little guy.

I think Bennett ended up with about $60 total. And yet he really has no concept of this. Just happy to have a red box filled with coins!

Grandpa took us all out to eat dinner for Parker and Bennett's birthdays. We decided on Mucho Gusto since Red Robin was packed. (Always seems to be packed on weekends when the college year is in session.) But we love Mucho Gusto so it was great!

Afterwards, the kids got to go swimming at the hotel pool. They had a great time especially since they hadn't been since last summer!

We sure love grandpa and grandma! Can't wait for their next visit!
