Going on a Date Farm!

The past two weeks we've had Grandma Smith visiting us!

I had a couple business trips to take, so the kids got to be spoiled by Grandma while I was away.

During her visit we took a tour of a local Date farm at Martha's Gardens. We now know more than most of our family and friends all about how Dates are grown, harvested and eaten! 

The highlight of this adventure was the eating of the BEST Date Shakes in TOWN! We all agree- best ever (though none of us have tried anyone else's)! 

If you are lucky enough to come visit us, we will be happy to treat you to a Date Shake!

Fun with Grandma Smith

I felt totally spoiled the last couple weeks. My Mother-In-Law Sharon came to stay with us. We flew her in to help while I was in Hawaii and then to help me get started with the moving process. The kids LOVED having Grandma here to play with them and to keep them happy! I LOVED having the extra hands to help me with the kids.
While Grandma Smith was here, we did a lot of fun crafts with the kids, went to the park about a million times, went swimming at Aunt Amber's appartment, went out to eat at least once a day, had a successful yard sale, got rid of a lot of stuff (yardsale, DI, and the garbage) and enjoyed every minute of her stay!
