Grandpa Spendlove's Stay

While Grandma Spendlove and Lisa and girls were out gallivanting the Caribbean Sea for Aubrey's graduation, we were visited by Grandpa Spendlove, Sarah and Stuart and kids.  We love having cousin's around.  There were lots of fun silly moments.  And Steve, Sarah, Stuart and all the kids took a trip up to see the Trail of a 100 Giants in the Sequoia National Park.  Thought it would be a good adventure for Grandpa on the nice paved trails they have.  However, they weren't expecting snow.  I stayed behind with baby Jacob but it looked like they had a good time.  

Bowling w/ Monarch Palm Kids

The last day of school party at the bowling alley.

Steve took Grandpa out to lunch and then met us there.

Again, we have wonderful neighbors and love that not only do the kids all get along but so do the adults.

Track & Field Day

Grandpa was with us the last week of school, so he was able to participate in lots of the end of year activities. One of them being Track & Field Day. All the kids did well.

This is Mrs. McFee & Mrs. Tindell's class tug-o-war.  OR Matthew against Rachel tug-o-war.  Really don't remember who won and it really doesn't matter.  They just had lots of fun being cheered on.
