grandma and grandpa's visit

Grandpa and grandma Jensen flew in April 10th-April 15th.  We had a great time with them.  Thanks grandpa and grandma for taking time to come visit us, we enjoyed every minute.

Jason had Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off so he could spend some time with them too.

Thursday: Jason, Austin and I picked them up and then went straight to Costco.  We had a few things to get and thought it would be easier with one kid.  The girls walked home from school and were waiting out front when we got home.  That night the girls had dance and got their costumes so lucky for grandma she got to come with us and see them dance all dressed up.  Later that night the adults watched the video they played at grandma's funeral

Friday:  Grandma told the kids she would take them shopping so we went back out to West Des Moines and spent the day there, we started by feeding the fish.  It was such a nice day!  Then that night Jason and I went out to eat and to a movie (Captain America), while grandpa and grandma took the kids out to McDonald's play land.

Saturday:  We went to an Easter Egg Hunt in the morning.  The Science Center in the afternoon, Smoky Dee's for lunch/dinner and then bowling in the early evening.  It was a beautiful day around 80 degrees so when we got home they played outside for a bit until bed time.

Sunday:  We went to church in the morning and then hung out inside and played games since it had snowed and was very cold.

Monday:  Jason went back to work.  The rest of us went to the new Muppet Movie.  On our way home we stopped at the hospital to see Jason. That night we all went out for dinner and ice cream.

Tuesday:  I made the kids go back to school since grandpa and grandma were leaving around 12:45pm anyway and they had already missed two days of school.  It was sad to see them say good-bye again and there are always tears but we had a fun time and made a lot of good memories.
