Grandma and Grandpa Malan Part 2–April 9-10

Saturday morning, while the rest of us got ready for the day, Christie took Landon and Davis to the park by our house.  They had fun stopping to see the ducks and showing Grandma their fun to playground.

The boys and Shane also had fun playing a little Mario tennis and on Shane’s itouch while we hung out getting ready in the morning.

Landon had a birthday party around noon, but later in the afternoon we went to Woodburn to the tulip festival.  The weather was a little cool, but it was really fun to go and see the flowers with the Malans.

Racing the ducks is always a big hit!  It was nice because it wasn’t too crowded while we were there.

After checking out the fun slides and activities, we headed out to the tulips.  They were gorgeous as always.  I am always amazed at how many there are and how amazing it looks!

The next morning, everyone had to leave early to start the long journey home.  We enjoyed a few last minutes with Grandma and Grandpa around the house and eating breakfast before they had to leave.  We can’t wait until our visit in July and we can see everyone again!

We had fun at the TWO-LIP festival, and enjoyed being with the grand kids. The boys really enjoy playing with each other, and now they know cousin Ames- in person. Grandpa Malan
