Papa's Visit

We had a great visit with Papa.  He got here late Thursday night.  On Friday, Emily had to be at the school as a mentor for Freshman orientation.  She's going to be a Junior!!  While she was gone, the boys did their chores and Dad and I worked on his personal history.  I interviewed him so that I can start compiling it.  It was cool to find out some things about him that I didn't know before, like the fact that he used to be in plays in high school.

Once Emily got home, we all went to lunch.  Michael was able to meet us.  We planned to go bowling, but it was so crowded and the wait was at least 30 minutes so we changed our plans and went to the movies.  Well, we stopped for cookies first.  We went to see Toy Story 4.  When we got there, the theater was empty.

It was a good movie.  It was better than I thought it would be.  After the movie, we headed home.  We stopped at Safeway for fruit on the way home, and then relaxed at home for a little while.  We ordered takeout for dinner and then we all played Pictionary.  Emily and I won. :-)

On Saturday morning, we got up and ready for the day and went to the movies again.  We went to see The Lion King.  It was amazing!  The kids still love the original the best, but the new one was really good.  When we got home, the kids finished their chores and played some games with Papa.  Papa, Emily, and I all went to the car wash to get her car all clean and ready for the first day of school.  When we came back, we went swimming.  Emily had to finish her essay for Honors English, but Papa and I got in the pool with the boys.  Michael had to work on his Sunday School lesson.

After swimming, we got ready for dinner.  We went to Osaka and had teppanyaki, then we drove to Golfland to pay mini golf.  Papa won. :-)

When we got home, the kids all went swimming again with Michael, and Dad and I finished up his interview.

We love you, Papa!  Thank you for coming to visit!!!
