A trip to Grandma & Grandpa Briggs

Grandma reading "Put Me in the Zoo"
 I loaded up the kids on Friday and we drove about an hour and half to my grandparent's house.  When we were in Eureka, I got the first, "When are we going to be there? This is taking forevvvvveeeerr!" Promises of getting to play in grandma's basement seemed to make the trip go faster! 
 Grandma even had a new play-doh set for them to play with!  A lot of the toys in my grandma's basement are ones that I used to play with. 

My grandpa told me that the wooden kitchen that I remember being in the office of their old house, was actually my mom's when she was little and that he had made it for her one year for Christmas.  Both kids love playing with it!  It has served three generations now!

This Fisher Price house was mine when I was little.  Elizabeth got the 2011 version for Christmas this year.  Grant really liked playing with this one.  All of the pieces are big.  The new one has too many small pieces and he can't play with it yet!

Grandma made the perfect kid lunch of chicken nuggets, quesadillas and fruit salad, complete with angel food cake for dessert!  Grandma asked me if Grant could have a piece of cake and if I wanted it to have frosting on it.  I told her if she had a piece without frosting that would be fine.  Elizabeth says, "I would like a piece of cake WITH frosting, please!"  

We had a wonderful visit and even got to take some of grandma's special corn and strawberries home!  Grandma, if you are reading this, we made waffles for breakfast saturday morning and EVERYONE enjoyed the special strawberry topping and there was enough left over that I made strawberry crepes for snacks today.  It is quite possible I will just finish up what is left with a spoon, when no one is looking!
