Thanks Pops!!!


While Eric was in Minnesota my dad came. He played golf the first part of the week in Nevada, and then drove up to Provo on Thursday. Thursday night he took them to Panda Express which is Gretta's favorite place to eat out.
Then on Friday my babysitter's mom was in town, so my dad graciously agreed to watch the girls while I worked on Friday.
The girls had a great time!!! They love Pops! He spoiled them rotten. First he took them to McDonald's for breakfast. Then he took them to story time at the Library. He actually ran into my mom's cousin and her daughter and grand kids. Then he bought them pizza for lunch. While Eliza napped the afternoon babysitter came over, and Dad took Gretta ice skating. They had a great time. Gretta has made a lot of progress in a week of lessons. She loves that Dad can skate backwards. Then he took her to the Dinosaur Museum.
For dinner we had spaghetti and meat balls and then headed off to the BYU Men's Volleyball game. Gretta and Eliza were so excited to wear their cheerleader outfits.
The first thing Gretta asked Pops was to buy her popcorn. Once again he spoiled her. They loved seeing Cosmo, but volleyball wasn't as exciting for them as basketball. I think it is because the cheerleaders don't come to the volleyball games. We still had a good time.
Saturday morning we took Gretta to another ice skating lesson and then Pops took us to In-N-Out. Then we took him to the airport. We dropped him off and then waited 30mins and picked up Eric. It was perfect timing. Once we picked up Eric we went to Discovery Gateway and dinner and home. It was a great weekend! Thanks Pops for coming we really enjoyed your visit. I know that the girls loved having you visit and spoiling them rotten.
Pops won over Eliza. She wanted him to hold her while she drank her bottle instead of me.


Thanks Pops!!!!

Glad your dad was able to come help while Eric was gone. Can't wait to hear if he got the internship!
