A fun vacation

Vacation was so nice and much needed.  I cannot believe that I have been home a week already!  And put in over 50 hours of work too.  We had so much fun playing and holding and watching all the grandkids.
The travel days getting to and from Minnesota were long but went fairly smoothly considering I had to go through 4 airports each way.  Got into MN about 5 hours later than expected because one flight was delayed making me miss the next one.  But the airlines booked me on a later flight and I got to MN safely.  I just kept reminding myself that "God was in control of everything and had it all worked out".  Terry got to MN before me, so he and Christy and Becca were waiting for me at baggage claim.  It was so wonderful to have the girls yell "Granma" and run to me once they spotted me coming off the escalator.  Terry was able to spend the entire vacation week with us.  It was so nice.
Here are some photos from the week plus Michelle has posted some on her blog and I have uploaded other pictures on facebook.

Grandkids and Sunset

Our kids, Ryan and Julie, and grandkids Lance, Liam and Shella May moved from Minnesota to Oregon!!! After 15 years of having them far away, they are finally within 3 hours drive. So, of course, I went to see them and the kids and I played lots of games. There is a rule that "Grandma always wins" but they ignore the rule quite frequently. We played Sorry, Life, a new game that has you do all kinds of different things like a cross between Pictionary and Scattegories and trivia. We also went shopping and walked to one of their schools and enjoyed the Lake Oswego Farmer's Market. The weather got over 100 degrees so the shopping mall was crowded because so many people were looking for air conditioning! It was a great weekend.  At the last minute, Shella May decided she didn't want her picture taken.  Oh well - maybe next time.

The day after I got home we had a beautiful sunset so am tagging pictures of it to my post.
