A long kid vacation

Shopping at Target with Opa

When Amanda and Tom went home on Sunday, they left something behind for the first time.  Nova and Maya stayed in Seattle for a two night visit with Grammy and Poppa (Tom's parents) and then another two nights with Opa and Oma (Jerry and Michelle) on Camano Island.

Some of the highlights were trips to be beach, Sunday school with the cousins, a shopping spree at the Dollar Store with Grammy, shopping at Target with Opa, McDonald's happy meals, Christmas light displays, and so on. Oh my, Twisp will seem like a quiet place after all that.

But how lucky those girls are growing up with loving, healthy and active grandparents in their lives. Today Jerry is going to drive them all the way home to Twisp.  Fortunately, the weather looks much better than last week on the mountain passes.

It sounds like it was a well-deserved break for the hard-working parents, too.  Amanda said they got a few "little things" done around the house, like clean and paint the kitchen.
