Wednesday Annie's Canyon and Flower Fields

Glen had kept his Wednesday free so he could have a grandpa day. He went to the airport to pick up Jacob and then it was time for some serious grandchildren time.

What better place to do that than Annie's Canyon?!? The rest of the grandchildren have loved going on that hike. We were sure these grandchildren would love it as well.

 

 All that hiking called for ICE CREAM!!!!

Then we wanted to go see the Flower Fields. We knew we were on the right track when we saw these beautiful flowers growing by the side of the road nearby.

Looks like a rousing game of Qwirkle going on while dinner was getting prepared.

It had turned out to be a very fun grandpa day!!

Tuesday Beach and Chuck E. Cheese's

Tuesday Glen had a busy day doing hour-long exit interviews with 5 departing sister missionaries. He did them all at the mission office which meant since there are people around there all day, I didn't need to go with him.

I could spend the day with Laurie and the grandchildren again. Hurrah!! Off we went to Oceanside Harbor to watch the antics of the sea lions.

We found a suitable spot on the beach for the kids to play for a few hours in the sand and the ocean.

 

It is not only fun to watch the children play at the beach, it is also fun to watch them play with the toys at home. Claire was keeping herself occupied while everyone else got cleaned up.

Then we were off to an early dinner and play experience at Chuck E. Cheese's.

Emma was counting her loot to make sure she had enough money for the ultimate prize they were all hoping to get...

COTTON CANDY!!!!!!! 

Laurie shared with me how much her mother loved to eat cotton candy, even in the last few weeks of her life. Jacob would go out and buy some for her when she was craving it.

Now here's another generation loving the sweet stuff as well.
