great weekend with the grandparents

We had a really fun weekend with the grandparents in town. I regret that I took very few pictures!

After weeks of beautiful 70 degrees and sunny weather it was rainy all weekend!

Th - grandma arrived at 8:30 in the morning. Dave picked her up while I did the morning drop off and walked the dog. Then we met for breakfast at Original Pancake House. We had a pretty busy day with kids pickup, piano, a dr. appt for me, etc.  Just our usual life!  It was a rainy day so softball was cancelled opening up our evening for dinner at home instead of on the road.  Activity days was at 7!  Lexey was super excited for her first time attending.

Friday - I went with Lexey's class on a field trip to Legoland. It was a great day. Dave, Clare, Grandma and JoJo stayed home and hung out and took Jo to dance class. When the field trip ended Dave was myster reader in Alexey's class.  Grandpa Dan arrived about 2:30pm.  We had dinner and hung out at home. 

Grandma and Grandpa spent a lot of time with the kids reading books, playing games, doing crafts and goofing off. The kids love the attention!  Grandma and Grandpa are so sweet with them!

Sat - Dave took his dad to ride bikes around the lake. Dan passed out on a rest they took. They considered going to the ER but after talking to cardiologist Joe Hymas they opted to manage it  in the outpatient setting once back in Reno.

The baptism was in the afternoon. It was great. More on that in a separate post.

Sun - church, including a special fast for the Simpson family and the baby twins, one of which has an enlarged bladder so they are doing surgery in utero to place a stent to drain fluid.
Bob, Kari and Dan came to dinner.

This week is spring break for the girls. Calvin had spring break a couple of weeks ago.

Monday - finally a sunny day!  We went to the mormon battallion and then coronado beach (with Meyer). On the way home we stopped to get kids burgers at in-n-out and got the adults indian food from our favorite little spot, Tandori Express.  Dave had been begging Calvin to go see batman vs. superman with him all weekend and finally talked him into it Mon afternoon.  Dan also went to the movie.  Linda watched once I was a beehive with the girls.

Dan and Linda headed home today (tues).

I took the three girls + Hallie Law to the beach today with gabby meadows.

Tonight Dan babysat for us . Dave and I went to dinner at Yanni's. Dave got lamb cannoloni. It was very delicious but I couldn't enjoy eating lamb.  I just kept picturing sheep and hearing baaa baaa.  the sauce, cheese and pasta were delicious though and the boudini for dessert was divine. My dinner was chicken penne masala and it was so so.
