Time with Paps

Last week Paps was in town. We greatly enjoyed having him here and because of all the work that he has done on the house, it almost feels like he is just part of the Grusy family. :-)

Ethan actually sometimes still calls Emma's room "Paps Room."

Ethan played outside one morning in the sand box for 2 hours with Paps:

One day while Paps was here, we of course had to make a trip to the zoo.

We had so much fun going with the Crust family

All the kids checking out the giraffes

Another day we went to a park, and Emma was really enjoying the water

(Emma was a little scared of the saw and so she wanted to sit with me the whole time, which I quite enjoyed!)

Dad,

We had a great time with you and always enjoy having you out here! Thanks for being so sweet with the kids. Ethan has reminisced a number of times about the fun things that you guys did together. :-) Love ya!
