Weekend in Benson

In late January, all of the Pearson family (including us Stays) went up to visit Grandma Beth at her new place in Benson. She is in the same building as before, but now has a MUCH bigger place. Big enough that we were all able to visit and have lunch on Sunday.

On Saturday, we had a big noon meal down in the common area at Grandma Beth's. We celebrated Jerry's 65th Birthday at that time too!

Grandpa, with all of his Grandkids (and Grandniece) for a birthday photo!

Back at the hotel, there were all sorts of fun things to do. Like swim!

Jacob, Julianna, Jeremiah, Ben and Emilia - what a crew!

Slumber party!

Goodnight hugs for Grandma Beth.

Sunday morning reading. Ben still repeats the story that Julianna told him....something about never, ever catching a mouse.

What a great weekend!

Ben and his cousin Ava may just have a future in showbiz...neither are very shy, and both just love to be clowns! Here they are "honing" their future skills.

And last, but not least.....
