Grandparents in Town!!

We had such a fun time with Tyler's parents here this week! They left this morning and Jackson has been looking around the house for his fun play buddies all day. While they were only here for 4 full days, we were able to fit a lot in to the schedule. The grandparents went on morning walks with Jackson, helped us decorate and put things together around the house, spent lots of time playing with Jackson, babysat him so Ty and I could go on a date, and we even visited 3 of the parks at Disney World!

We had been planning on buying a grill for the past couple weeks, but Tyler waited until his dad was in town to help him pick out the perfect one. It was great to have the "grill master" here to help us set it up, and christen it with some amazing steak and pork chops!

As you can tell, Ty was stoked to finally have a grill - and a super hardcore one at that!

**I've been told that someone doesn't approve of the above picture since he looks like a "manatee" but if it weren't for that manatee we wouldn't have wheels on our awesome grill!**

Sunday Dinner was amazing - Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes, and a Poppyseed Salad! And since the weather was so nice we were able to sit out at our brand new patio table set :-) Here in Florida, it's just getting cool enough to sit outside for dinner haha.


Jackson absolutely adores his grandma and grandpa! I was a little worried he might be a little shy or apprehensive, but boy was I wrong! He loved spending time on their laps, in their arms and waking them up every morning to play on their bed.



Grandma introduced Jackson to his new favorite song :-)

We even had a little belated birthday cake for Tyler - my family's classic double chocolate bunt cake!


Yesterday we spent the entire day at Disney World! We started at Animal Kingdom and loved the safari!

Then we drove over to Epcot for the afternoon and sampled some of the foods at the annual food and wine festival. We had yummy sausage from Germany, Crepes from France, a sampler of Spain dishes, and a Danish dessert!



Jackson loved banging on these African drums!



Lastly we went over to Hollywood Studios and finished it off with our favorite ride - Toy Story Mania - and watched the American Idol Finale Show. It was a busy day but Jackson did great! He was happy basically all day and just fell asleep in his stroller for naps. What a great baby we have!

Last night Grandma and Grandpa spent their last hours with Jacksy back at our house. It was so much fun watching them fall in love with Jackson. He is such an amazingly happy baby and so much fun all the time. Just two more months until we see them again for Christmas!!


Love this video - you can see how much fun these 3 have together :-)
