Last week in South Bend

Elsie and Reid checking out Quacker the duck with their GG.
Running around the tennis court. What a great spot for the kids. Nets to run around, all fenced in and nowhere for them to go. Next time we need to take some bouncy balls to chase around. They spent a lot of time just walking in and around the nets. As you can see the weather was nice but still a little cool.
The playground at the end of grandma's street. The ground cover is made of recycled ground up tires. It is the coolest thing because you almost bounce on it when you walk, but you get pretty black from it too. The kids definately can't get hurt though.
At grandma's house, all they wanted to do was walk up and down the sidewalk. Over and over and over again. Elsie has started waving at people as they go by. Everything is good until they stop to talk, and then both kids become mute.
Reid, running up the driveway to see his GG.

While we were in SB, we went to visit the Cira's. Cole, Sarah and Logan.(Tom was at work). Logan is just a month older than the kids. Cole will be 4 in June. We had a short visit one afternoon, but hopefully we can see them again soon. I think the kids had fun together.

I love this picture of Elsie and her GG.

We had a great visit in South Bend. We arrived on Tuesday and went straight to Grandma Nancy's school to visit all of the teachers. The kids had a great time running up and down the hall, and when we made it to the kindergarten room, they didn't want to leave.
We spent most of our time outside. The weather was finally warm enough to play outside. It was a little cool, but just right with a jacket on. We did a little shopping, looking for shoes for GG for Rick's wedding. We didn't find anything, but were able to order some online for her.
On Thursday we went to the church for lunch. They were having a salad bar. It was a great lunch for the price.($6.50) By the way, thanks for paying for my lunch GG. We got to the church a little early, so we went to visit with Pastor David(he baptized the kids a yr ago) and then played in the nursery. Grandma Nancy was able to come for lunch with us. Reid didn't really care for any of the salads(I guess he's his fathers son) but Elsie tried quite a few different kinds.
We packed up everything and headed back home on Friday morning.

Glad you had such a wonderful trip. The one of Elsie walking with her GG was also my favorite, you should definitely frame it, maybe do it in black and white. Loved all the pictures and glad to see you are home safe and sound!

Fabulous photographs. I'm so glad you took a trip. Grandma must have been over the moon to see the bubs.

Love the recycled tire ground, how cool

Looks like such a lovely visit!
The pictures are so wonderful that you probably didn't even need to put captions. :)
