Week at Grandma Amy's - July 2014

Sunday, July 20 to Sunday, July 27, 2014

While Matt attended a work training in Chicago, I took the kids to spend the week at Grandma Amy's.

Amy (23 months) and David (4)

These two had a great time playing in the dirt and mud with sticks and rocks.

End of July means harvest time!

Amy experienced her first truck ride dumping the wheat at the Warehouse.

What fun to have a train go by while we were waiting to dump our truck of wheat!

The kids had a blast playing in the yard together.

On Saturday morning, July 26, we picked Daddy up at the Spokane airport and enjoyed a fun day together at Riverfront Park. Here we are enjoying a carousel ride.

Amy didn't ever want to get off. She would cry and fuss every time, but rules are rules!
