too quickly

This Memorial day weekend we spent it with two of our favorite people!  Jane and Dan (grandma and grandpa) came to visit.  I didn't take a single picture, but there were lots of moments where I thought I should!

So I'll make a mental snapshot of the things I wanted to take a picture of:

-The kids jumping up and down and running out the door in their XL Cougar shirts when they saw the suburban drive up; completely ecstatic that grandma and grandpa (finally) arrived!
-Saturday morning bike ride.  We were quite the procession. 4 adults bikers, 1 child biker, 1 bike trailer, 1 add-a-biker.
-Pick-up soccer with friends for Seth
-Playing baseball.  Levi had such a huge smile running the bases, he loved having some one-on-one time with Dan and Jeff -- and the kids loved the slap-stick humor performed by Jeff and Dan: falling trying to catch the ball. -- Raya wanting to bat all-by-herself and then "running the bases" -- she would run to second and then to home, or get distracted by the ball and start running after the baseball to help catch it instead of running home.
-Biking to Cougar Country
-Biking up Davis Way after Cougar Country (bleehhhh)
-Shopping at Tri-state and finding Chacos on sale for Jane :)
-Pedicures: Jane at least had her phone to snap a couple pre-pedi pictures:

Everyone was enamored by Raya, (who wouldn't be?!).  She loved soaking her feet in water, having her feet massaged and getting her toes painted... she insisted on having her finger nails painted too... and grandma was nice enough to oblige :) -- and of course sitting in her own "bear chair." What a fun afternoon! It was nice to get pampered, relax and chat.

Sunday:
-Swimming... the kids showing grandma and grandpa their new skills. Swimming ended early unfortunately because a child puked in the pool.  That was actually a better outcome than I originally thought... (large man + poop)
-Went to Sweet Mutiny instead.  Dan asking a million questions; enjoying frozen yogurt and cupcakes :)
-Jeff and I went on a date... watched our first 3D movie The Avengers -- tucked grandma, grandpa and the kids in with a movie and popcorn The Sandlot --
-Card games

The weekend went by too quickly.
