May Grandparents Night

On the 16th of May Grandma and Grandpa came over for our "Monthly Grandparents Nights" (Ok we try and make it monthly, but really it has works out to be as often as we can). It is a lot of fun to have one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa, and we will take it as often as we can, because it is fairly rare in a family this size! It is a good time for the boys to tell them all about what they are doing at home, making out of their own creativity, or participating in outside of the house.
This time was a little different because I had the boys think of a question that they might want to ask each one of them. In spite of them being kind of shy at first, it sparked a pretty interesting conversation!

Brandon of course asked them, "Who was you favorite superhero?" to which their answer was yes that they did watch "Superman", but by far the cowboy characters on TV were the super hero's of the day.

Kevin asked Grandpa "How did you get so good at making thins?" His response was, "Desire first...I used to build tree houses and go carts and I used my Dads tools to build things." This sparked it's own conversation on how to build a go cart! Kevin was all over that! :-)

Logan asked both of them "Did you ever go fishing?" Grandpas reply was "yes" and Grandma's reply was "We would be driving in the car and my Dad would see a little stream and pull over and drop his line in. We would wait in the car."
I thought that was funny! :-)

We asked some questions of our own like:
How much were movies? "$.25 when we were kids"
How much was gas? "$.18 per gallon (can you believe that?)
and quite a few others that made for a really fun and interesting conversation!
It is awesome to be able to speak to people that are a little farther down the road than we are because we really can learn a lot from their experiences! Thank you Mom and Dad for sharing some bits and pieces of your life with us and with our kids! I know they really enjoyed talking with you and we did too!! We love you both and sooooooo appreciate who you are!

Here is Kevin discussing his tackle box with Grandpa and of course discussing fishing with him!

Here is Brandon giving Grandpa his "sloppy kisses." Grandpa is being a great sport!! :-)

"We love you Grandma and Grandpa! Thank you for a great Grandparents night! " (Sorry for any misquoting! Please let me know if there is anything that we need to correct! :-))
