A Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

My parents came to visit this week.  The kids had so much fun seeing them.
Here my Dad helps Matthew in a game of Battleship.

We had nice weather one of the days they were here and we took a little walk to the park.  Grant tried out the swings.

 Anna liked swinging too.

 Here's Grant in his stroller

We also visited the Air Force Academy chapel.

 And we saw Garden of the Gods and visitor center.  The kids like riding on the buffalo/bison

 Matthew kept talking up Focus on the Family to my parents, so we went there on Saturday even though it's just a place for kids to play.  We had fun.  Here is Matthew hanging out by the plane.

We also went to Cave of the Winds.  While we were waiting for our cave tour to start the kids did some caving in this wooden play structure.  It was small and claustrophobia inducing and meant to be like climbing though a small cave.  The kids liked it though.

Here are the kids climbing through.

 Scott was going to give it a try, but decided he was probably too tall.  I wanted no part of it.  :)

 And here we are in the cave.

 Anna and Matthew loved that they were small enough for all the skinny walkways.

We bought the picture at the end of our tour and were met at the end with a little snow.  It was lots of fun having my parents visit, but it went by so fast.  Hopefully they will come again!

That cave box looked fun, but in the end I gave in to the "not recommended for those over 5 feet tall" :)
