--STOP TWO--Grandma's house

On the way to my Grandma's house Garth got a call from his cousin who is a CHP in San Jose. He said he was working and he would stop by my Grandma's house so the kids can see the car.
We got to my Grandma's house at about 6pm, had dinner, got all the neighbor's on the block excited about the CHP car on the street, visited with Jimmy for a while, had the Sunnyvale PD check on the activity on the street, and then settled in for the night.

Gerrit and Emma went with my dad to sleep at his house. It is fun for them and relaxing for us! Thanks DAD!! We had planned on going to the children's museum and out to a John's Incredible Pizza LIKE place, but plans went out the window when Gerrit woke up in the night throwing up! We chilled in the a.m. of Saturday hoping Gerrit would stop throwing up. He really didn't all morning so we just hung out. It was good though because David and Grace Payne came from Monterey for the day and we got to see their new baby boy. It was one of those nice laid back Saturday's...Man I forgot how those felt. Minus the sick boy of course.

One of the things Gerrit was looking forward to...more than the museum and food was to go swimming at Grandpa Bob's. He was so sad when he was sick because he thought that he couldn't go. Garth and I talked and we thought what the heck and took him over at about two. As we were walking over to the pool Gerrit started coughing and burping and I thought -oh great what good parents we are, let the kid throw up and then take him swimming! Well he didn't throw up, just a lot of burps and such so off we went. Swimming really lifted his spirits and he had a lot of fun. We went back to Grandma's for taco's and MAN they were good! Then Tamara and I worked on her Bridal Shower invitations. We got them all finished, stuffed in envelopes, addressed and stamped! YAH! By the time bedtime came around we were all exhausted!

Is this the end of our crazy weekend...NO! The next morning we all get up and Kent, Tamara, Garth, myself and the kids all packed up and were headed to Brentwood to have brunch with my Aunt Wendy.
