Randy's Grandma lives in a nursing home close to Randy's Mom and Step-dad's house. We all got to visit her once together, and then Randy went every day after that with his mom. In this picture he is with his brother Mark. Mark was so nice to stay as long as he could to be with us and catch up with Randy. Randy loved that. Anyway, we enjoyed getting to visit with Grandma.
On our visit with everyone to the nursing home Randy's mom got to entertain the kids with Grandma's wheelchair in the hall. They had so much fun getting rides down the hall. She had fun with her grandkids- although the amount of rides she had to give might have been a little much. =) They never wanted it to end!
Randy's mom lives in the beautiful Washington country. They have a little land and therefore a tractor and other fun things for kids to climb all over. The little boy in the pictures is their cousin, Payton, who got to spend the week with us there. The girls had so much fun with him.
They have this beautiful lake and river that goes to the lake right out their back yard. The kids went on a walk with Randy down to the river/lake when I was in town shopping with his mom. =) That made everyone happy.
Mom bought the grand-kids a slip-n-slide and they were on it ALL DAY. I mean, over, and over, and over again. It was definitely a hit. They were so sore the next day. We also got to have a family bonfire complete with s'mores, and a day at the Moses Lake pool. We had such a great visit.

Oh, and this is the only picture I got of John the whole time! He was busy working so not around as much.
After we left Mom and John's house, we headed back on our long journey to Oklahoma. WAY too long. But I just keep dreaming about this delicious, expensive (for a milkshake) but worth it, milkshake. OHHHH, I WILL stop here every time I drive this way. Can you guess what kind it is? Nothing but my favorite, huckleberry.
Now this has nothing to do with our trip, but I thought I'd give a few updates of what happens at home. EVERY single time I go somewhere with Emma and Mya, they bring an armload of babies, horses, puppies, baby doll strollers, baby doll carseats.... etc. Every time. I can't get them to leave them home. But I can make them leave them in the van, so at least we don't haul all of that into stores and stuff. But still. It's crazy.
And Kenadi has hardly any teeth left in her head. She keeps losing them faster than she's growing them back. She looks hilarious.
