Grandpa Russ came out for a visit last week!  He usually likes to come during the summer, but our summer was a little hectic, so he came out in early “fall” (although still technically summer…) and enjoyed the hot weather with us. 😉 We always enjoy his visit – we spend a lot of time outside and usually enjoy ice cream a couple times, too!  He also got to see what daily life is like around here, so he joined us at PE + (our first class of the school year) and listened in on some of our homeschooling around the house.
We went to the reservoir twice while he was with us. Â It was lots of fun to use the kayaks he had given us last summer with him. Â Hopefully he could get a sense of how much we all enjoy using them!! Â One of the times we had Ace, Zach and Caleb join us which added to the fun!

Day 2:
Sadly, I pinched a nerve in my back and was in excruciating pain when he first arrived and for the first bit after that. Â So, I didn’t participate in the kayaking, but I was able to walk at that point, so I just walked and then finished a book.
Look at how nicely Micah decorated the floor on the night I couldn’t move off the floor:
Thanks for coming out for a visit, Grandpa Russ! Â We loved having you!!
