Weekend with Grandma and Great Aunt Shelley

I had to work this weekend and Scott had to work on saturday then was off to st louis on sunday (for all star baseball activities) so grandma cathy and great aunt shelley came up to watch the boys. Saturday was a fun filled day. They first headed down to crown center to the lego exhibit.


Ryan looks a tad bit nervous about the lego man.

Then off to Crayola Cafe. Shoot, we forgot to tell grandma cathy about fritz's railroad burger joint.

After lunch,grandma tried to get Ryan out in the water....but it didn't work.

This is as far as she got.

Saturday night was the block party. Ryan had been looking forward to this all week! It was time for the water slide!

I can't believe he went down it with the water on. He hates water in his eyes. It probably didn't hurt that the older kids were going down the slide. He thought he had to do whatever they did!

And then it was time to check out the fire truck!! Prairie village fire department came by so the kids could get a close look at the fire truck. Ryan enjoyed it at first....

Owen liked the truck

....but then it was time to get back to riding bikes and scooters down the street!

jaws of life

And so the fun began....riding bikes down the street. I swear i thought Ryan was going to crash

Weeeeeeeeeeee...but he never did.

(for the record, after ryan went down the hill a few times, scott made him wear his helmet!)

And finally, I made it home from work. Owen was super excited to see mommy walking up the street! It was a great day all around.

Thanks grandma cathy and aunt shelley for coming up to watch the boys! And for cleaning the house on sunday!!!!!!!!!!!
