Getting our family together in one place is too rare. We did manage to have them all here in late June.
Here we are exploring some new gel sticks. They liked them so much G1 wanted to take them home, but I convinced him to let them stay with me so G2 could play with them the next day (they were staying overnight). I had gotten them on Amazon and it was easy enough to have a set sent to him for a surprise.
G2 is very much into cars and G1 into Legos. We had to put the smaller Legos away while the younger one was here, but G1 didn't seem to mind.
Our pool temp was not really inviting for the older crowd and G1 was going to give it a go. Just as his dad got his suit on it began to rain for a bit so we put the pool on hold and didn't manage to get back to it.
This one would have jumped right in.
He wanted the thermometer that was tied to a string and dangling on the bottom so he could throw it in.
Another car set-up.
G1 was the driver and G2 the load. It didn't last long - he didn't want to sit still and he didn't know how to work the power on the tractor yet.
Papa tried to give G2 a ride but he was scared until G1 got on and then of course he wanted to go too.
It was better that they both got to sit on the big tractor in the garage together.
We kept the menu simple and got subs from Jersey Mike's and I made my pretzel salad dessert which was a hit with the little ones once again.
Like I said, these visits are all to rare for us. I hope that we can have a lot more of them in the future.
Aw, nothing better for little boys than water, trucks, cars and tractors...especially at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

The photo with G1 driving and G2 as the load is just brilliant. With memories of my brother as a kid, I'm sure the big tractor was a great treat for both of them! I hope that family times can happen more easily soon. I always wish we'd lived nearer our cousins, we rarely saw them.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet little boys and lucky you to have precious time with them. Makes me long even more to see our 'grands' - it's been over two years for our 2 out west and a year for the one here in Ontario. I miss playing Legos and cars with them!
