A visit from Mamoose and Papaw

Steve's parents came to visit this past week and we had a great time with them. The girls loved hanging out with Papaw and Mamoose. It was so cute to see Olivia snuggling on the couch with her Papaw. It reminded me of when I was little and used to snuggle with my grandpa Thompson.

Papaw trying to teach Audrey how to say Mamoooooooose. Look at those puckered lips!

We went golfing and this is a picture of the next Tigress Woods. I've been golfing about 4 times but this time with great coaches I actually blew my husband away. He couldn't believe how well I did. Heck, I can't believe how well I did. Thanks guys for the tips. So much fun.

Papaw playing with the girls

We went to the Renaissance Festival in Larkspur, CO. It was interesting to say the least. I've been before but years ago and I forgot how provocatively some of the women dress and how crude some of the actors in the shows can be. Not a place you probably want to take your in-laws but oh well. I think we had some fun. We tried to do more kid friendly things like watch a joust, go to the petting zoo, ride kid rides, eat yummy, yummy food.

The outfit Audrey had on is one that Mamoose and Papaw bought for Olivia but it never fit her but fit Audrey perfect and was so cute.
While they were here we celebrated our 6th anniversary and Papaw's 64th birthday. We went to a BBQ up in Conifer, CO at our friends Brett and Susie's place, we drove to Estes Park, CO and Steve and his dad went to a Rockie's game. Plus golfing and the Renaissance Festival. Very busy but very fun. One funny thing that happened while we were at the BBQ- Some people were playing volleyball and it started to rain. Mamoose and Olivia were in the van and Mamoose talking about the people still playing volleyball in the rain said to Olivia, "They're nuts!" Olivia got a very serious face and looked like she was thinking very hard then said to Mamoose, "I guess they're Brett and Susie's nuts." Mamoose laughed very hard.


"What mom, what? Seriously, what? Why are you looking at us like we have chocolate all over our faces?"

LOVE the picture of the chocolate faces... I never understand how kids manage to get food on their foreheads, in their ears, etc...

I think you've truly figured out the secret to a good golf game....a colored ball! Trust me, I live on a golf course:)
