This was the first time that Grady got to meet his sweet adorable and always smiling cousin Cora from Oregon. She was sure a cutie and has beautiful eyes! Here are the two together and then one of just Grandma and Cora. They are only about 6 months apart.
This is just an assortment of pictures from the trip. Jenni and Jeremy, Grady peeking out of a window in one and in another Grady's cousin Lindsey is peeking back at him. Grady also like climbing in and out of things, as you can see he was getting into the cupboards and having fun!
More pictures of Grady and Cora, Grady being read to by his daddy and his Grandma Jean. Also a few pictures of his cousin Lindsey, aunt Jenny and Aunt Jenni. :-)
One of the evenings we had a family dinner. It was a birthday/anniversary celebration for Jon's parents. First we took family photos outside and then had supper inside one of the cabins.One thing we did was have shirts made that said "Rose Hill Farms". This is the name of their farm in Hudson from which they participate in Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings and Thursday Afternoons.
We then surprised Steve and Jean with matching shirts that everyone had on. Here is a picture of Steve and Jean with the grand kids (minus Grady & Cora - who also had Rose Hill shirts too)
The whole family in their shirts. Steve and Jean were so surprised and loved the thought.
On Thursday afternoon, while we had some laundry to do, we took Grady to the park. They had a pirate ship for him to play on. They also had a wooden castle that had a slide. Grady has found a new love...sliding. I think he love trying to climb back up just as much as he loves going down them. It was so fun for Jon and I to spend the day with him and seeing this playground through his eyes...a child's eyes.
Here is Grady on our way home - I think we were maybe 15 minutes (if that) into our drive home. He was such a good boy on our whole trip, but it sure did wear him out!!
