Over memorial day weekend we spent the 3 days at Josh's parents house. We had such a great time. We were able to visit with Josh's grandparents Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. They live in Utah so we don't get to see them that often. We had a great time seeing them. I just love any chance I get to have my kids spend time with their great grandparents. Mine had all passed away before I could remember and meet them. I hope my kids will remember these special times with their great grandparents.
Payton and Scarlett love going to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Uncle Kevin and Aunt Liz live by grandma and grandpa and they have 5 kids. The oldest is almost 8 and the youngest is almost 6 months. Our kids and their kids get along SO well. Payton loves playing with Jaydn, Maddie, and Lilly. Scarlett and Ella are a little over a year apart, but they are the same size and play pretty well together also.
Their cousins own these 2 gators and our kids loved driving them around grandma and grandpa's backyard. Payton can now drive them with out any problems, and Scarlett doesn't quite get the turning of the wheel, but she can definitely push the peddle down to make it go.
All the kids did a great time playing and taking turns. They definitely wore the batteries out constantly.
It's so great that they all get along and that they are all about the same age. Payton just adores Jaydn and looks up to him so much. He and Jaydn are almost exactly 3 years apart.
Scarlett loved holding and making baby Thomas laugh. She really will be such a great big sister!
We took advantage of the nice weather out side and went to the fair in Chico. We first visited all the animals. There were a lot of baby animals and the kids enjoyed seeing all of them. We walked around for a little bit, and then let the kids each ride on 2 rides. Payton went on the cars with Ella and Scarlett.
Scarlett and Josh went on the swings. At first Scarlett was a little scared, but after it went around a few times she loved it. She actually would not get off the swing. She was crying and throwing a fit.
Jaydn and Payton raced down this super long slide. They both loved it.
Jaydn of course won, since he is bigger and weighs a little more. Payton didn't care at all. He was just so happy that he and Jaydn got to go together
Our family with Great Grandma and Grandpa Johnson.
Monday we decided on staying at the house and having a
BACKYARD EXTRAVAGANZA!
Josh and Kevin went and bought a little pool and a slip-n-slide for the kids. They also got lots of yummy food for lunch. We had so AMAZING sandwiches with all the fixings you could possibly think of.
The kids loved jumping in and out of the pool. They raced each other on the slip-n-slide.
Payton loved every minute of it! He wasn't' nervous at all. He was so brave. Honestly just over this last year he has started to try more things. It totally helps to have his older cousins around. He will do anything that they do!
Payton loving the slip-n-slide!
Uncle Kevin and Uncle Michael began doing one for the money and tossing the kids down the slip-n-slide. They loved this!!! Even Scarlett loved it! She made sure to get her turns!
It was so fun to watch them having so much fun!
Luckily no one got hurt and they were laughing a lot!
Payton being tossed!
The slip-n-slide was a good idea! It worked really good and collected a lot of water on it!
Of course in the Robertson home these fun toys are not purchased just for the kids! They adults always have to give them a try. Josh definitely had to get in on the action.
Payton and Scarlett loved that their dad was playing with them both in the pool and on the slip-n-slide!

These 2 loved the pool.
Grandma and Grandpa's backyard has a lot of little frogs all over in some of the plants. The kids each found some and were taking them into the pool with them. I think some of the frogs didn't live for very long. These kids named them and were a little rough with them, but they had a good time.
We enjoyed our amazingly delicious sandwiches and fruit for lunch and then enjoyed some homemade ice cream.
The kids played for hours!
We all had a great day! We played a little badminton, some bocce ball, and enjoyed relaxing in the shade with each other. Your BACKYARD EXTRAVAGANZA was a huge success. Mom and dad have the perfect backyard for this type of thing. We can't wait to be able to do this again!
