2 Coverstone Corner: ALEX, PAYTON & OWEN COME VISIT

Ryan and Crystal attended 2 Oregon weddings on this past weekend. So it was time for the grandparents to get some grandkiddy time. They were at Grandma Darla's first and then came here. So we played and played. We had inside fun with the "magic carpet ride" with Uncle Kevin.

Grandpa Jim and Owen played with Kevin's old Hot Wheels. Payton and I played with the dolls. Payton had fun with the Hot Wheels also.

We had outside fun. Several months ago, Payton planted these pumpkins. She was excited to see how much they had grown.

Then we played on the Trampoline. It was Owen and Payton's first time. They liked it.

At first Payton was a little apprehensive. Grandpa kept telling her to jump like a frog. She really got into it and then she turned into super jumper.

Lots of jumping can wear ya out!

But the big hit of the day was when Grandpa brought out the riding lawn mower and the kids got to ride with him. Every time Owen's turn was over, the neighbors heard about it. He did NOT want to get off. (Don't worry, the blades were not engaged)

On Monday, we met Crystal and Ryan in Sherwood. They were coming from Seaside and we met at Safari Sam's for lunch and a couple of hours of play time before they went to the airport to fly home.

I had never been there. It was a cute place with mini golf,

video games,

and a giant indoor jungle jim. Crystal and Ryan had to go into it to help Owen get around.

Alex was a really a nice big brother and helped Payton get around.

At the end, Alex was cashing in his tickets that he earned in the arcade games, to get some fun prizes. He's a pro, as you can tell, by the hands on the hips.
