Grandpa!!


Grandpa couldn't come for Christmas, so we got him in March instead.  Hooray!!!!
George was shy at first but then realized Grandpa is just like Dad, just with a fluffier head. 

Of course we spent the whole week outside.  It was spring break so we had lots of time to burn and still didn't have enough to do all we wanted to do.

Barton Creek was a must and we had a lot of fun splashing in the water and having a picnic in the woods.

But real food was required so we introduced yet another city slicker to the Salt Lick.  He loved it!!  And clearly Sadie and Jack love and adore him.

Jack cracked us up that night.  We ordered him some turkey and as Chase was gnawing on a rib, Jack looked over with a perplexed look on his face and said "hey Dad, were'd ya get that rib."  It was a proud moment for Chase watching his son act like a cave man while ripping flesh off a bone.  I was more proud that we're acclimating enough to indoctrinate the children in Texas ways....all the way down to their fantastic BBQ.

George just loved being outside and flirting with a table of ladies.
 

A visit from Grandpa is never complete with out a little tree climbing.  I found him the best tree ever!!
 
 

I couldn't have survived spring break with out him.  The kids were beyond entertained and we all had a marvelous time. 

And to top it all off, we were able to be together as we watched Aunt Jane open her mission call to Nauvoo, Ill.  Learning American Sign Language.  Hooray for Jane!!! 
All in all, a perfect week with my amazing Dad!!
