On Friday nite we went to a place called Triple Play, which is an arcade/swimming pool/bowling alley. We had a great time for only $5.00!! I even got to play Skiball - my all-time favorite arcade game.
Lily and Alyson were honing their shooting skills.
Here is Jim honing a different type of shooting skills. As an aside - he is phenomenal at this!!!
Lily chose to use her last token to take a short drive.
Grace seemed thoroughly unimpressed by the whole thing.
On Saturday we drove down to Moscow to visit Bruce's brother, Don and his wife Vicki. The girls had a great time playing with the toys, and the adults had a great time playing with guns.
Lily didn't much like the noise of the guns.
On Monday, I watched the girls all by myself. Everything went very smoothly. I learned a couple of things about my granddaughters. One is that Lily is an extremely polite two year old. She always said please and thank you. The other, is that Grace loves to eat. I fed her three bowls of oatmeal & applesauce and two bottles. She's a growing girl!!! Also, she is very close to crawling. I tried, but we didn't quite master it while I was there.Here are a few gratuitous pictures of the cutest grandkids in the world.
And one of the silliest Geezer in the world!!
We always love time spent with the kids. It makes us smile!!!
I always say Saoirse is the most polite 18 month old. She's been saying "please" for months now (both signing and saying). She's been saying "thank you" pretty regularly for about a month now - mostly unprompted. And lately has been picking up "you're welcome"! These kids are amazing! :) Glad you were able to have a wonderful visit with your granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great weekend visit. Glad you guys had a fun and safe trip.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture of Bruce, I think he had the same look when he hooked himself in the ear.
ReplyDeleteWe were glad you guys came and visited! We had a ton of fun, and the girls love having Gramby and Geezer around.
ReplyDeleteAmanda- It's amazing how much kids will learn and what they'll do if you just teach them and stick with it!
