A Fun Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Palmer

 Last weekend Grandma and Grandpa Palmer flew in for a whirlwind weekend of fun! They arrived late Thursday night, and stayed until Monday evening. We had so much fun with them here! :) During the "weekend getaway" we enjoyed doing some fun things...like playing! Above you can see Claire and Grandpa Palmer had a fun time together. Claire was especially interested in Grandpa's tablet. :) She really warmed up a lot to Grandpa on this trip! :)
 As always, though, Grandma Palmer wins a special place in Claire's heart...and sometimes I swear they are two peas in a pod! One night we went to eat at Braum's...and when it comes to ice cream, Claire sure takes after Grandma Palmer. :) Ice cream and Palmer girls...an inseparable combination!
 Mmm...delicious! There is no ice cream like Braum's ice cream. :)
 On Saturday, Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD had their annual book sale. Since Austin's mom likes to read too, I suggested we check out what was for sale this year. :) We sure had a lot of fun roaming the book tables, and we loved the low prices! A few hours later, we left to head back home (more like the guys called to see if we would ever return from our book paradise, haha!). I must say that we took quite a few books with us...we were worried that they wouldn't all fit in the suitcases flying home!
 While we were out shopping, Austin and his dad worked on some home projects together. Now we are the proud owners of white light switches, hurrah!!! I cannot tell you how wonderful it is! :) They put a lot of effort into this, and I am so lucky (and grateful) to not have to look at those dark brown switches anymore! Thank you guys, for your hard work!
Monday we went to the park, since it was a gorgeous day outside...even a little on the warm side. :) Claire showed off her climbing and sliding skills to Grandma and Grandpa. It was so much fun to have them here for the weekend, I was wishing that they could have stayed at least another week! Austin, Claire and I were very sad to see them go. :( But we were so happy that they were able to fly down to visit! We love you guys! Hopefully we will get to visit again soon. :)
