Andy and Teresa drove their 57 Buick Special from Idaho to Tacoma for a car show. This is a show Andy has always wanted to have a car in and here it is! Does this kid belong in the 50's? He loves this era and all the great music. It was fun to see him and Teresa enjoying the show.
I took the grandkids for the afternoon and they really enjoyed seeing the cars! Not sure Lauryn appreciated it but she had a great time looking around.
Meysa thought it was pretty cool to sit in the convertible!
Just a glimpse of things to come - it's only 9 years till he's driving!
Mom and Dad went for a spin in the Buick. It looks like a lot of fun!
And they're off! Mom and Dad loved the ride; it brought back lots of memories for them.

We had Ayden and Meysa for 4 days and decided we would go camping at the coast. The entire month of July was without rain.....until that fateful day....July 29th! We had made our reservations a month ahead of time and guess what. We had a crazy, crazy rain storm- it was a deluge! We decided after spending an hour in the tent with no way to dry out that it was time to bail!
Here are Greg and Ayden putting up the tent; Greg and I took it down after 3 hours of downpouring rain and wind! The kids thought it was grand fun - NOT! My mantra now: NO MORE TENT CAMPING for this grandma!
So we improvised and had our own campout in the living room! The kids decided it was a great night to watch Santa Claus 3.....what a hoot! I just loved the time spent with them.
Going to bed led to lots of laughs and fun. Meysa and Ayden decided they could make different poses and here is one showing "who has the longest arms!?"
So now how do we have s'mores? Well, the microwave melted the marshmallows and then we made the sandwiches. It actually was the night after we bailed from the coast that we made these.
Both Meysa and Ayden ate two of these. Can anyone say sugar high? (Sorry Aimee and Ryan, but this is the best part of being the grandma - I get to spoil them!) And yes, bedtime was a little more stressful; not that I didn't join in on the pillow fights and frolicking!
We took the kids to the A.C. Gilbert Discovery Village in Salem. They were enthralled with the light room where they moved around and saw how the lights changed with their body movements. We spent almost an hour just in this area. It was pretty cool.
Greg and Ayden: playing Mario Kart on the Wii. Ayden was pretty good with this and as you can tell, they both were pretty intense.

Every morning it was hot tub time! We had such a terrific week with the kids; thanks, Ryan and Aimee, for letting us have them!
