Visiting Grandma and Paw Paw

After our relaxing weekend with friends we headed up the turnpike to visit my parents. I was really excited as I hadn't been up there since Christmas, was going to get to spend some time with my brother, and Andy was going to fly up and meet us and we were all going to go to a lake house for a night. It was going to be a fun week and I was ready to get it started/be done with driving!!!!

As always, my mom cooked uh-mazing food

one of my most favorite foods- tomatoe pie!

ruby figured out how to climb stairs, she was fast! good things we had a few extra set of eyes to watch her!

Ruby got to see some deers in the front yard

Then the day after Andy got there we headed up to the Lake Skiatook, which was really a nice lake.

LAKE!

The girls!

After the boat, we came back to the cabin and hung out and ate dinner

Then everyone but us decided it was a little too warm to be enjoyable, plus their pug Emma was really hot and having a hard time breathing, so they decided to go back home. Andy and I opted to stay since Ruby was already in bed and we weren't too hot. I was bummed everyone left but then it was kinda nice to just sit out on the deck and watch the sunset.

Then the next morning we got up and played outside. It was Ruby's first time to play in dirt and she loooved it. And yes, she did try to eat that rock.

Daddy loves his girl, just crawling around together/also trying to avoid Ruby eating rabbit turds that were everywhere.

I think there is a direct correlation between how dirty a kid is and how happy they are b/c she was so happy this morning after playing in dirt, crawling in the grass, and then eating a whole bowl of watermelon.

Then we drove back to my parents house, spend another day there and then headed home. It was really nice to have Andy on the drive home and Ruby did really well. Overall, great trip. As always, it made me wish we lived closer to family but since we don't it makes the time we do get to spend with them that much sweeter.
