Grandma came to visit!

It was time for a visit from Grandma Nel. Marie was ready to play with someone other than Mom or Dad - she had seen all our tricks and games - time for someone new. She must have known that Grandma was on her way across I-80 because Marie decided to stay up past 9:00
on Friday night.

Saturday morning we took Sadie and Charlie to the dog park in West Des Moines.While the dogs were running around and smelling other dogs' you-know-whats, Marie and Grandma got to play in the sand, swing, and go down the slides.

Back at home, Grandma played with Marie while Dad got some studying done and Mom got a much needed snooze.

Saturday night we ate out at "The Machine Shed." A few blocked arteries and one picture on pig later, Grandma & Mom went to see "Eat Pray Love" while Dad & Marie went home for bath and bedtime. As you can see, Marie wasn't as into this night as we were. She has been getting 4 molars at once and it was really affecting her during dinner.

Thanks for visiting Grandma Nel - we had so much fun!
