True love

This past weekend was Easter weekend and yet our highlight was our one day road trip to visit my Grandma, my kids' great grandma. This particular time we drove 2 1/2 hours to Treasure City, a large store that sells a bunch of crap but the kids always find their greatest "treasures" there, haha. Then we drove 2 more hours to Itasca State Park so the kids could see the start of the Mississippi River. Wylie even walked across the river. Then got back in the car for the last hour to Fosston, Minnesota. We visited and had dinner with Grandma/Great Grandma for 4 hours, packed back in the car and drove 6 hours home. I might also mention, this is one of their favorite things to do, going to see Great Grandma. They absolutely LOVE it, all of it. Got home at 1am and I had already decided we were hanging low for Easter. Just a day together, the 5 of us.

Monday comes and Kasey gets home from school and said, " Ms. Baumann was asking us what our favorite part of Easter was and I told her I forgot it was  Easter but I got to see my great Grandma who is 100." I spent one moment feeling bad that we didn't make a bigger deal of  Easter (we did the egg hunt/basket etc) but then once that moment passed it melted my heart. There is this undeniable love and bond between the kids and Great Grandma. I can't describe it, I wish I could.   As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words.





    FROM OUR HELLOS.....

TO OUR GOOD BYES . ..

These are times I will cherish forever and in the eyes of Wylie, Kasey and Tori the time spent with their great Grandma is priceless. This is true love for their great grandma. I love that they LOVE so much.

ps. A quote I will never forget.

Wylie when he was 4 he said, "Mom I don't even see Great Grandma very much but I love her so much."
