Awesome weekend at Grandma and Poppy's!!!

We had the best weekend. We went down to Columbus Kansas this weekend to hang out with Grandma, Poppy, Chris, Autumn and Josh's grandma. We got a much needed break away from home. We got to watch them blow up hotair balloons and then saw them take off. Not too many actually flew them because it was just too windy. But these 3 did.
This one was Faith's favorite because of the smiley face.
This one was Bens favorite and he was just absolutely amazed when he saw people going up into the air actually flying in this balloon. He will be talking about this for weeks. Now when he grows up this is what he wants to do.
This is Josh's grandma. She was so excited to see us. It has been quite awhile since we have gotten to visit with her.
Here is Ben with his normal pouting face.
This is my favorite picture. I just asked the kids to sit down and smile and tada. This is in Grandma's back yard. They loved playing at grandmas house. She had lots of toys and lots of games for them to play.
After the parade we got to let the kids play on a few inflatables. This was their favorite. Ben climbed this wall which was pretty darn high, like he was an old pro. He climbed it better and faster than Brandon. Which he thought was hilarious.
This is Brandon stuggling a little bit but he too made it to the top.
And my favorite part. The KC Marching Cobras. They were so great. They were about 45 minutes late because they got lost. Which I was so sad because I thought we missed them. But nope not at all. They performed for us for about 1 hour and man did they perform. No breaks for them. It was pretty darn hot but they didnt let that slow them down.
These 2 young girls came and pulled me and Autumn out into the street to dance with them. Faith wouldnt go by herself but she sure wanted to dance with mommy. We stayed over at Chris's house (Josh's brother) and the kids had a blast, Chris had lots of snacks, and drinks, and the kids got to watch Cartoon Network way late. Wish we could have stayed a little longer. But it was great fun.

Glad you got to get away for a bit. Would have been a perfect weekend if you would not have ended it with cutting your thumb!
