Grandma and Grandpa Draper

Jon's parents came down to visit a few weeks ago for a couple days and we packed in all of the fun we could! Monday night they went with us to the Pumpkin Patch which is always a highlight for the boys. It was all the better this year having their grandparents come with them!

Unfortunately this was the best picture we could get. If you look closely you will see the bubble in the air that Jake and Max are looking at!

Just another attempt at a family picture!

I really think Jake's favorite part of the pumpkin patch each year is the awesome bubble machine they have going. He loves to run around and try to pop all of the bubbles!

This is the first picture I've seen where I actually think one of my boys looks like me!

The kids had fun riding all of the little rides they have there.


Love this little chunkers!!!


The next day we were supposed to go to Sea World for the day, but of course it was raining, so instead we went to Pretend City in Irvine. It just opened in August and the boys loved it! You go around to all of the different places and dress up and pretend like you work there. It was really cute!

The Grocery Store

The Construction Site

The Post Office

The Restaurant

The Boat Yard

(FYI- the shields don't work- the kids were soaked after this!)

The Gas Station

The Orchard

The Dentist's Office (Jon's personal favorite!)

The Doctor's Office

And finally... The Theater

Jake was rocking out- it was pretty funny! (Notice the wet clothes from the water station)

After Pretend City we got some Inn-N-Out and then went to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It was such a cute, funny movie- Jon and I were laughing way more than the boys were! A quick stop for ice cream on the way home and we called it a day. The next morning they went to see Jon's office and took him to lunch. They then had to head home.

It's always fun when Grandma and Grandpa come to visit! We hope they come again soon (we promise we'll go to Sea World next time)!!!

I saw an article about the place in the newspaper but haven't gotten around to going yet. Thanks for the preview! It looked busy...maybe because it was raining?

This looks like such a fun place to go to -and with grandparents, it must have been a treat for the boys!

Love it when Grandparents come to visit! Cute pictures even if the kids are all over the place.

So fun!! Pretend City looks so neat. We have something small like that at our children's museum, but not nearly all the variety. Glad you guys had a great time!

What a fun place to visit! Looks like everyone had tons of fun. Think we'll wait a year to take Shea. It's so hard to take him anywhere at this age. I have no idea how you do it with three!
