"See Papa, See Gama"

We headed to Sioux Falls on Friday to see my mom, dad, brother Gabe, neice Kyra, Aunt Debbie, and Grandpa Ed. It was so nice to spend quality time with Kyra, which we don't normally get. Grandpa Ed definitely enjoyed spending time with Charlie and Kyra. Charlie even shared his grapes with him, which was a huge step for him. Grandpa ate whatever Charlie gave him. The kiddos had a blast swimming at the hotel with their daddies and playing with Gama and Papa.

This tiny brave boy was jumping in the pool to his Daddy's arms! Mommy was amazed

Kyra was SO calm in the water with Gabe - it was awesome to watch the two of them

"How am I doing Dad?"

Kyra sporting her new suit

"I'm never getting out of the pool Dad!'

This was when they first got in the pool. Charlie was a bit nervous, but you can see he warmed up just fine
