... or so Charlie said for 2+ weeks before Grandma and Grandpa actually came. He was so excited!! Actually, we all were! Mom and Dad arrived on 3-26 and stayed until 3-30, flying into Denver and renting a car for the drive to Canon. They came bearing more birthday gifts for Charlie! Charlie played a game of Candyland with G&G before bed - his first time playing the game. Thanks, Edwards family!
Charlie and Alanna had fun watching videos and looking at pictures on Mom's camera; some of themselves, some of their cousins.
Dad made each of the kids (and himself) a bristle block cell phone and they had a conference call together. Their conversation was hilarious. "Does anyone have anything to add to today's agenda? Hearing nothing, we'll move on to item A." SO FUNNY! I was able to take a super fast pic with everyone holding their phones to their ears. :)
Grandma and Grandpa are always willing to read books to the kids; even if it's the same book for the 15th time that day.
Charlie sports his new sunglasses from G&G.

We took a trip to the General Store up Oak Creek Grade road, heading southish out of town. It's a 16 mile trip to a little restaurant attached to the owner's house... a bit bizarre, but the drive is nice and the food was good. Matt and I have been there before, so we knew what we were getting into. The owners seem to always be up for some 'let's-get-to-know-you' questions and anti-government talk. The yellow fire truck pictures were taken there, too. Why there was an old fire engine on their property, no one knows.
"Grandma, wanna go boing, boing, boing?" (a fun and silly game Grandma was playing with Charlie on the swing)
