Grandpa's Visit

My Dad came to visit for the weekend. And we always love when Grandpa comes. He got into town Friday mid morning. We spent the day hanging out and playing games with Grandpa. Friday night my Dad watched the kids so that David and I could go on a date. So we headed to Outback Steak House to use our Christmas gift cards. David and I look forward to these gift cards every year. We always make sure to indulge and get the best steak. We love it every year. While we were gone Grandpa and the kids played and watched TV and got to stay up late. Pretty much the last 4 times my Dad has come up here we have been saying that we are going to go walk across the new bridge and it just wasn't happening. So we made sure that we walked the bridge this time. That thing is massive. It definitely makes me in awe of what people can build and do. At one point Dutch stood up on the railing and then put his knee on the top railing so he could see down. Lets just say we had three screaming adults. It really upset Dutch and embarrassed him, but oh my it almost gave me a heart attack. Our last outing with Grandpa we went to see the Mermaid. I've been wanting to take Maylee there forever but I just kept putting it off. So we finally ventured over to the Silverton Casino. Maylee was so amazed to watch the mermaid swim. The mermaid would blow kisses and wave to all the kids. Maylee was fascinated. Pretty sure her eyes never left that mermaid. Afterwards we walked around the Bass Pro Shop until the kids saw the quads and then they just played on those for a bit.
