Fun times with Grandma and Grandpa
Andrey's parents brought their RV, affectionately called "The Coach" by Dad, and "Sylvia" by Mom, from Nova Scotia to Washington, D.C. to meet us for the annual conference we attend together every Spring. How fun for Ella to see them again. She ran to them excitedly when we found them in the hotel lobby that Spring day. They hadn't seen Ella since before Christmas so they were pretty excited as well. Reunions are fun!
We had the privilege of having them around for the most part of our two-month trip. They would meet up with us wherever we were, spend some time with us, then take off on their own for a week here or there. How fabulous for us to have them with us for part of our time in the DC area, North Carolina, Alabama and Atlanta. We had groupie grandparents on tour with us and we loved it!
After our time in the DC area, we got on the road headed to Alabama. We took three nights and four days to make our way there, spending a bit of time in the Carolinas on the way down.

Grandma and Grandpa take to the lake. What a beautiful place. Lake Hartwell, SC.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for being present for so many memorable times together!

Fun with stickers!
Grandma couldn't resist the sticker fun
Grandma graciously submitted her head of hair for Ella's special "hair cut"
Out for a walk at a campground in South Carolina. Couldn't get Ella to walk very much.

Sweet times with Grandma

Love Grandma's meals and Grandpa's BBQ on the road!
Grandpa and Ella chilling out after dinner
Grandma & Grandpa hung out with us at my parents' place in Alabama a few different times. They went with us to Birmingham for Ella's court hearing, which I will post about separately. They even endured a wild reunion with all my relatives, spend Easter Sunday with all of us and joined on a road trip to Atlanta to pick up Ella's passport. They are troopers!
Grandma played Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Ella sang and played along. As the song ended she would yell, "Again! Again!" They must have sang it 10 times.
Never a bad time for some Grandpa goofiness to get Ella smiling.
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for being present for so many memorable times together!
