A visit with Great Grandparents

The girls don't know how blessed they are. They have all 4 of their Great Grandparents here with them.   They all live in El Campo, a small town heading towards south Texas. I decided to take them for a visit about a week ago. Unfortunately, I was using my cell phone camera the whole time and it ended up losing battery quicker than I expected. My mom was with us and she snapped a few while we were at Grandma & Grandpa's. I just need to get them from her to add to this post. It was such a special day!

It started off around 11 am at Mema and Pepa's....

The girls started their visit by looking through Pepa's basket for their favorite toys to play with.  Pryscilla chose the red ball and Eden picked some kind of monster toy.

Here is Mema handing the girls a card to read! 
Back to the basket...

A little time in the playhouse
and digging in the sand. They really enjoyed this.

Pryscilla was trying to hide her toys in the Cozy Coupe 
Pepa called me over to check out his new hatching operation. He is raising Chuckers for our ranch and was having some issues with the hatching process. Someone gave him this to use and he's been having success since. He was pretty excited about how many eggs this incubator could hold.
My Pepa. I love him so much!! I am so lucky to have him, to learn from him, travel with him, party with him, dance with him, and laugh with him. He is a wise man!

Here is Mema & Eden playing in the living room. She is so special & sweet. Always has treats for the girls and toys they love.

She was really liking it

Here is our visit coming to an end. We wanted to get a picture of all 4 of them, it's just hard to get both girls to look
at me at the same time.

A little gift for the piggy bank before we leave

After this visit we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Dorotiks. Mom had her camera and was able to snap a few pictures. When we got there Grandma made us coffee and we visited a while. She couldn't believe how big the girls were. She thought she was going to cary Eden but after picking her up decided that she probably shouldn't. After running around her kitchen for a few minutes, it was time for a snack. The girls don't really eat cookies and sweets, except for fruit and cereal...but Grandma surprised them with vanilla Oreos. They were pretty tired and sometimes in that situation food can keep them happy but after 4 each I had to say thats enough! Grandpa ended up walking in after finishing up his work outside. He talked to the girls and Eden sat on his lap for a while. It was very sweet! We all had a really nice time catching up over coffee and cookies!  The girls didn't last too much longer. We loaded up again and this time headed home.

I thank the Lord for this very special day & look so forward to our next visit!
