Horray For Grandparents

So for the last few days we were fortunate enough to have Cory's parents visit us. It was great having them here, and Madeleine loved playing with them. Cory was able to get sometime off while they were here. So we were all able to relax and hang out. I must admit even though I know they were on vacation, I almost felt like it was a small vacation for me. Grandma and Grandpa Swainston entertained Madeleine and I was able to cook dinner without her tugging at me once, I was very excited. I even was able to sneak into my room and read a few chapters in a book, I don't know how long it has been since I've sat down and read, but I will tell you its been too long.

We spent one early afternoon at the beach. Cory and I try and go with Madeleine once a week, take advantage of living where we do. Each time we go Madeleine gets a little braver with the waves. This last time she even ventured out on her own a little. I think this was the highlight for the trip since you can't really go wrong with the beach. If I was more prepared I would have taken a camera, but that's what grandparents are for taking the pictures and emailing them to you... right? The beach wore out the adults and I think we all took a very lovely nap when we got back, Madeleine on the other hand continued to play all afternoon.

Cory and I even sneaked out for a small date to go watch a movie, we take advantage of free babysitters when we can.

I think this was a great way to end our summer. Overall I think good times where had by all.
