Grandparent's Chapel

Last week Hailey and I went to Charlotte for Grandparent's Chapel at HGCS, the school where my mom is the principal. Each year she likes to bring the grandkids on stage to open the chapel to show them off. :) The chapel was on Thursday but Hailey and I went a few days early.
We left Tuesday after out first LAMBS (Bible Study) for this year. Little Stinker was not being cooperative for pictures but oh well...

 After LAMBS we got lunch with Daddy at Chick-Fil-A and hit the road! Hailey slept about an hour and as soon as she woke up she asked "Are we at Grams yet?" She was just a little excited!
When Grams got home from school Hailey had a ball playing with her. My mom had gotten Hailey some plastic animals (she's totally into farm animals right now) so little miss had to put them in the cradle, read to them, let them nap and then we built them a farm where everyone had to have their own fence.

She also watched a little TV...this cannot be comfortable!

On Wednesday we went to the park in the morning and then Hailey was dying to get in the pool...the only problem was it was barely 70 degrees! So she settled for putting her feet in the water and a picnic beside it, where she insisted on eating on the placemat. ;)

That afternoon Grams brought Tucker home with her and he and Hailey had so much fun! They rode bikes, kicked the soccer ball, ate a snack and then we took Tucker back to church for Awana that night.

As soon as we walked back in the door to the house Hailey asked Das (my dad) is she could go swimming. So we stripped her down to a diaper and let her get in but it was too cold! She didn't make it past the second step!

Thursday morning we played around the house again, tried taking a dip in the pool and then got ready for Grandparent's Chapel! Hailey, Tucker and Mack did great. Hailey had been asking if she could walk around on the stage with Grams and I kept telling her no, so I was a little worried she would attempt to crawl under the pulpit like she did last year.

 My mom had Tucker say the Bible verses he's learned at Awana and then Hailey was dying to say something in the microphone so my mom asked her about what she had learned this week at LAMBS...What did David take care of? She answered with a loud "sheep!"

 Right after they were done on stage we left to go pick up Mimi and head back to Raleigh. She stayed with Hailey Friday and Saturday while Ryan and I went on a retreat with one of the Life Classes at the church. It was such a blessing to get to spend time with grandparents and we are so thankful for the ways that they love us all!
