On Thursday of this week (May 28), the kids woke up from their afternoon nap to a surprise! Gramma and Grampa Johnson had come for a 10 day visit! The trip was planned just a few weeks ago and we decided to let them surprise the kids rather than have the kids ask us every day when Gramma & Grampa were going to arrive.
We had lots of fun while they were here - Gramma & Grampa both spent A LOT of time in the pool with the kids (I was so happy to pass the baton on that activity)! Elin is absolutely fearless in the pool and loves to jump into the water from either the steps or the side of the pool, irregardless if someone is watching her. Erik is also getting very good at swimming underwater; he is getting more & more confident in his skills every time he gets into the pool. I also "made" Gramma & Grampa work on puzzles with me - I'm not sure why, but I pulled out a few of my puzzles a couple weeks ago (just before my parents came for their visit) and I've been addicted to them since. We completed 4 different puzzles while they were here!! I hope they didn't leave vowing to never again look at a puzzle again!
I apparently put my phone & camera away for most of their visit because I don't have that many pictures to show everything we did! I know we played with a lot of toys, we spent time in the pool, we read a lot of books, we worked on lots of puzzles and we took the SunRail into Winter Park (our new favorite activity). This trip, however, wasn't incident-free as all our previous trips!! We were sitting on the 2nd level when we arrived in Winter Park and, apparently, took too long to get out of our seats & off the train because only Roger made it off the train before the doors closed & it took off again!! Oops. The rest of us had to ride the train down to FH Orlando and then wait for the northbound train to arrive so we could get back to Roger. That little incident took some of the fun out of our excursion - and it also meant that we couldn't eat supper in Winter Park since the long train stops running for a few hours in the late afternoon.
Here are some of the pictures that I do have of Gramma & Grampa's visit:
