U.S.A. day 24 in Kennewick

One of my favorite things is watching my mom laugh until she cries. Game nights always get her. My whole family was at the house this summer so there was lots of: Mexican Train (with sound effects), Sequence, Settlers, Miles Bourne, you name it.

Noah and Gage are pretty good at it too. They sure love their Grandma. This is what summer with Grandma looks like: snow cones in the park, freeze tag at the splashpad, picnic lunches, happy meals at the playplace, cookie making, playdough playing, visits to the toy store, retro books on tape, outside on the tramp, ball throwing with the dog.

We also got to see Grandma and Grandpa Brown. And eat the kind of real barbequed burgers I've missed.

My dad was the Washington Elf who left presents for the boys every day. And their Absolute Favorite Thing was riding the lawn mower with that Grandpa. Just look at their faces!
