Grandma and Grandpa Draper

Jon's parents came down for the weekend which was so much fun since we don't get to see them very often. Friday we all went to Disneyland and California Adventure. The boys loved having their Grandma and Grandpa there to ride all of the rides with. They wanted nothing to do with riding with Jon or me! The weather was perfect and it was just a really fun day.

You might notice us holding up a little paper doll in some of the pictures. Our nephew sent us Flat Stanley and we are supposed to take him with us wherever we go and take pictures with him. Flat Stanley got to ride a lot of fun rides!

These little seats in Bug Land were so cute!

We rode a bunch of rides and then got their famous corndogs for lunch. After eating Grandpa Ron and Jake enjoyed listening to a little band that was playing.

Max started to get really fussy and tired and so Lorelei sang and rocked him until he fell asleep- something neither Jon nor I have ever been able to do while he is in our arms! He slept for a good 45 minutes or so. Unfortunately we forgot sunscreen and put the sweatshirt over his head a little late resulting in a lovely sunburn on the left side of his cheek!

Nathan wanted to ride the Tower of Terror ride so we decided to let him try it. I was a little worried that he was going to be scared and freak out, but he ended up loving it. I just told him that the Twilight Zone movie thing was silly and not scary and he actually believed me! What a brave little kid!

When we were done with California Adventure we headed over to Disneyland. The kids were pretty tired by this point but we really wanted to ride a few of the rides over there. We went straight to Small World since it just recently reopened, but the line was way too long and the kids were losing it. So we just went and rode the Tea Cups and the the Merry-Go-Round and decided to call it a day.

Nathan was really cute and wanted to hold Max's hand the whole time. Max's head really isn't bigger than Nathan's, I think it's just the angle- or at least I hope it is!

We then took the kids home and left them with a babysitter while Jon's parents treated us to a delicious dinner down in San Clemente at Beachfire Grill. We stopped and showed them Jon's new office on the way which they were really excited to see.

Saturday morning we went to Jake's baseball game. He was so excited to have everyone there to cheer him on. He kept look over at the stands where we were sitting with a huge smile on his face. He played a great game- he had two good hits (without the tee) and fielded quite a few balls. I love this picture of Grandma and Jake after the game!

The rest of the day Saturday was spent working on a project in the backyard (pictures to come). Jon and I went to run an errand and when we got back Lorelei had dismantled our entire swingset all by herself! It was pretty old and rusty and had seen it's last day so we'll be taking it to it's final resting place at the dump this week. We ended the day with a little Inn-n-Out and then they left early Sunday morning to drive back to Utah for the Draper temple dedication.

Overall we had a fun weekend with Grandma Lorelei and Grandpa Ron and we can't wait until we get to see them again!
