1...2...3...4...5...6....

Yep...
the 6 Cassada kids ~ our grandkids

came to spend the weekend with us.
Alden and I spoke near the end of the weekend saying
"do you find yourself counting
6 heads"?  Yep, we did often!!!!!!


We were glad to give Courtney and Pat some "couple" time! 

We had fun in the backyard ~



Of course, we did water balloons!!!!!!


 

Checked out the VRE ~ BIG hit!!!!!!
Enjoyed Burke Lake



Shhhhhh....... we fed the ducks.......






Isn't her hair pretty?  The look after taking out her braids!  :)




We went on the search for the perfect place for our picnic lunch.



Um....of course, RIGHT here ~ by the train tracks........



Us three girls even got to go.......


to the mall ~ to do some birthday shopping!!!!!

How fun was that!!!!!! 

Alden and Joshua got to go throw the ball ~ and enjoyed a bike ride.







Good family room time ~ just relaxed....and enjoying each other.


Playing games on the iPad


Steve ~ the magnet for the kids!

How adorable is this.......



Precious moments in the morning......
on our bed with sleepy eyed kids. 
Truly a favorite time for us.

Sunday morning we chose not to GO to church,
but instead had a sweet time of worship right here in our
family room.
Truly a sweet time ~ Scripture reading, singing together,
and each of us prayed.  That will be a precious
memory for Alden and I for a lifetime!


We even made it to National Harbor.


Lots of special hand holding



What a view!






Checking out The Awakening





Loved this!!!!!!

Enjoyed some "nail painting"


Ride in the pick-up

All 6 accounted for ~ GREAT times.....
and now they are safely back with Mom and Dad.

Simply a special time for us ~
and wonderful memories made....
and....just a tad bit tired.  :)
