A visit from Grandma and Grandpa

The highlight of our spring has been a visit from my parents! We did lots of things in the city that we haven't done before and really enjoyed just spending great family time together. It's a long trip over here, so we are always so incredibly grateful that our families are willing to take the time from work and spend the money to come see us. We are truly blessed! We must have taken a lot of pictures with my parents' camera, because I actually don't have many to share. I'll post more when I get them.

Chilling on the couch with Grandpa!
Just what every little boy needs... a fur Eskimo hat and a space gun that shoots a laser and makes a REALLY loud noise! Thanks Grandpa!
Grandma and Grandpa brought a bag of treasures that Owen got to pick from each day. These silly masks provided lots of laughs.
Months before Grandma and Grandpa came to visit, Grandma and Owen starting planning the Slumber Party they would have when Grandma got here. Grandma taught Owen the elements of every good slumber party: nighttime, jammies, snacks, flashlights and a movie. Grandma brought all of the party supplies with her and one evening they climbed to the top bunk for the Slumber Party of all Slumber Parties. They cuddled in their jammies eating jelly beans, oreos and peeps while watching Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and making designs on the walls with their finger laser lights.

The Slumber Party was so much fun that Owen got to do it with Grandpa the next night while they watched How to Train Your Dragon.
Owen is so lucky to have such fun grandparents who think of special ways to connect with him even though they live far away. Even though he doesn't see them in person very often (he sees them on skype every week), he knows that they are special people who love him lots and he talks about them daily!
