Happy 31st!

Happy birthday, Bryan.

Party on!

Thank goodness for grandparents

Ava’s preschool was closed last week, but thankfully, Grandma and Grandpa Smith were willing to take the kids to their house for a few days. The girls had a blast playing, taking trips to the zoo and safari park and spending time with Leo and Wyatt.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Bryan and I behaved like responsible adults and spent three days cleaning, organizing and finishing projects around the house.

I am totally kidding. We actually played golf, stayed out far too late every night and generally acted like we were 24 again. I think we may have had more fun than the kids.

I was quite happy when they returned on Friday, though, and Doug and Karyl stayed with us through the weekend.

Ava managed to talk Grandpa into bringing this “princess” pool home:

Grandpa took many fabulous photos (and speaking of, you should become a fan of Exit 426 Studio on Facebook):

Olivia showed Grandma the intricacies of the iMac:

We also spent a bit of time downtown, where we stumbled onto a 600-bike Harley Davidson parade.

Thanks for another fun weekend, Doug and Karyl!
