Bye, Bye Grandma and Grandpa Holbrook!

We just spent a wonderful week and a half with Grandma and Grandpa Holbrook out here visiting us (well, visiting Ella, as they always say)! It was so much fun to have them out here and so exciting for Ella to have so much attention all of the time! After the initial shock of Brad handing her off to them right away at the airport, she got used to them real quick and had loads of fun showing them all of her new tricks! I do not how she is going to handle it now that it is just back to her and Mommy, but we'll just have to get through it because our next visitors don't come out until the end of October!

We got to do so many fun things. We of course spent a lot of time at the beach, went to the Botanical Gardens, played at the Children's Museum, ate a lot of yummy food, and went to the mall, just to name a few.

Here's a few pictures I managed to snap during all of the fun!


Playing on the beach. Ella is a fish and hates to get out of the water. . .especially when it means she is going to get buried in the sand by Daddy

It was SO much fun to have you guys out here and even more fun to see Ella develop that relationship with her grandparents. Thanks for coming out and treating us to everything. We miss you guys already and can't wait to see you again come Christmas time!

That's great they were able to come out and see you guys and spoil you too. Isn't that what Grandparents are for? Hope Ella is happy being with just her mom again :)
