We went to Brian's parents' house over Labor Day weekend. John and Bethany were able to be there and we finally met Dan's girlfriend, Rachel, who became Dan's fiance that same weekend!! It was a great trip! We are so excited to have Rachel join our family. She is very sweet, talented, athletic and her and Dan make a very cute couple! We can't wait until December! :0)
While we were there, the boys decided to go bird-hunting. They didn't see any grouse, but they came home with a couple doves (they had to bring home some proof that they could hit something!!) :0). When they came home, Brian's dad gave us a little bit of an anatomy lesson while he skinned the bird. (I know you don't "skin" a bird, but I can't think of another way to say it!) Anyway, Paige and Austin had the funniest looks on their faces throughout the entire process. They were completely enthralled by it all and got mad whenever someone got in their line of sight. You can see their expressions in the pictures below. They seriously had these same facial expressions THE entire time! It was very entertaining to say the least! ;0)
While the men were off hunting, the kids, Grandma A., Aunt Bethany and I went to the park. It was a bit chilly and we weren't very well prepared for the change in weather, so we had to borrow Grandma's jackets, gloves and socks. Thank goodness Grandma is always prepared for anything! :0) The kids didn't mind the cold one bit. They had so much fun going down the HUGE slide (according to Paige anyway), swinging in the swings and showing us what monkeys they are. Paige even surprised us by doing the monkey bars by herself. I was so excited watching her that I forgot to take a picture. Then she refused to do it again so I couldn't take a picture. That's Paige for ya! She did, however, discover how much fun it is to slide down the slanted bars with her arms. She got very good at it by the time we went home!
Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa A., for the great weekend!!
