a visit to the folks

Pete was asked to come and speak at a youth rally in my hometown. It was a perfect excuse to go visit the folks. I realize this is not the cutest picture of Brie but the story is sweet. She tried to get my dad's attention from the other side of him but he was in a conversation and not paying attention to her. She walked away, looked at him, huffed and walked right back over to him and stood right in front of him pleading for his attention. He got the hint, looked at her for a brief minute and that was all she needed, off she went and that was it! funny little thing that Brie!

Mom had collected bread again and we headed out to feed the geese at the lake. It was a bit windy and the geese were not easily accessible, though we did try several times without success.

I thought this picture was just to sweet to not include it. PJ was requesting Brie to hold his hand and they were trying hard together to figure out just how to hold hands. They were both delighted when the got it right and off they went.

Since the geese were not interested in our bread the kids made their own fun throwing rocks. Little Gabriellie could keep up with the best of them this weekend and was not going to miss out on the chance to throw something! I cannot count the number of times the kids went back and forth from the lake to the rocks!

Here is a quick picture with grandma and some monkeys in a tree!

Kayla is always up for striking a pose. She is just growing up so fast! Love that little lady!
