June 30

We set most of this day aside to spend with Grandpa Heidt. It is so convenient to have him in the same town as my parents. We always enjoy spending some time catching up with him!

This fun day included play time at Grandpa's house, eating lunch at a restaurant, a trip to the park, an adventure to the riverside to hunt for rocks and some treats.

Somehow, the only picture of all this fun from my phone is of the kids playing at the park. This toy is perfect for 3 kids or even 4. I thought I might get a decent picture of all 3 kids smiling....think again!

At the park, William attempted to play tag. There weren't any other tag aged kids playing, so he decided to play with Mom, Dad and Grandpa. I think William was VERY surprised by how speedy his grandpa was while chasing him. He might be a grandpa, but he can still sprint to keep up with my first grader!

After the park, I took Gemma for a nap and the kids went on another adventure with Daddy and Grandpa. When they got home, the kids had lots of good stories to tell:

"We hunted for rocks by the river!"

"The river was SO full! It was going very fast!"

"They told me not to go by the river, but I didn't listen, mom. I just wanted to see better. It was fine, mom."

"We got to b right by the river! Daddy said it looked flooded. We weren't supposed to go any closer, but later we did."

The look on John's face was quite funny as he heard what the kids took away from this particular adventure. It should also be said, that I know Grandpa and John wouldn't put the kids in a truly dangerous position.
