Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Wyrouck

This past weekend, my kids had out of school, so we headed up to Blackfoot, ID to see my grandparents (my mom's parents). We had such a fun time just doing nothing. Makayla was really excited to help Grandpa rake leaves so she could jump in them. She loved the tire swing also. She told everyone that for her birthday, she wanted a house with a tree that has leaves that drop so she could jump in them and a tree swing in that tree. I guess we just need to move in with Grandma and Grandpa since that is what they have there.

We tried to go to the zoo on Friday, but when we got there we found out it is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, so we let Makayla play at the park and walked through the leaves. Makayla had a fun time collecting leaves to take home with her.

Friday night, we got out the cards and Grandpa, Grandma, and myself all played Hand and Foot. Grandma won 2 hands and Grandpa won the third by 65 points. I lost big time. It was a lot of fun though.

Saturday, my Aunt Alice stopped by to help Grandpa and Grandma. We picked up all the leaves that they raked on Friday. Alice threw Grandpa in the leaves, so we piled all the kids and Grandpa around him to get a fun picture. They had been working on Grandpas 45s (vinyl records for you yungins). He had quite a few of them. He also has 2 juke boxes that he plays them on. Boy that brought back memories of playing at their house in Pocatello. They are going to get the juke box set back up, I can't wait for my kids to have those same fun memories that we had growing up!

On Sunday, we went to my cousin Julia's for dinner. Makayla had a good time playing with her little girl Ellie that is 2 months older than her. It is good to get together with family, it gets so easy to get caught up in my own things and not think outside my little family.

My Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Eddie stopped by Sunday night as I was leaving. It was good to see them, if even for a short bit. Aunt Cheryl has always been such a fun Aunt and very supportive of what every one is doing.

I loved spending time with my Grandpa and Grandma. I just soak up the time that I get to spend with them. I never seem to get enough. They are the cutest couple. They take such good care of each other. When I am 82, I want to have that kind of a relationship with Austin!
