We had a great visit with Grampa and Grandmomma
It has gotten very hot in Vegas, so when we were outside, we were at the water! We are so grateful for the pool and the yard of this house!
Daniel recreated our ladder diving board that we had in Florida. Alexander has mastered lots of jumps, including learning the can opener from Grampa
Alexander was super excited for all the fireworks he picked out with Daniel and the massive stash Grampa brought
The sparklers were a favorite!
For the fourth of July, we grilled burgers and steaks and enjoyed dinner outside. We put Niko to bed after dinner, but the sounds of fireworks soon woke him up.
Niko wasn't sure what to think of the noise and lights at first, but we kept clapping and laughing and showing him how fun we thought it all was. He soon decided he wanted to enjoy it too!
When we moved to the front yard to see the big show our neighbors' were putting on, Niko was all about it, and wanted to be as close to the action as he could get!
Grampa spoiled both boys with gifts throughout their visit. Niko was all smiles over his big bouncy ball.
Zoey graciously allowed Joey to share her bed
Grampa described Joey as a sensitive boy, and it is so true. He wants to please everyone and just wants to snuggle.
All smiles! This kid has bumps and bruises constantly because he is always on the move. The little road rash on his forehead made me laugh....now he really is Alexander's twin! This mark is in almost the exact same spot as big brother's strawberry hemangioma.
Alexander was so excited to take his tackle box and his fishing rod, both presents from Grampa, to Floyd Lamb Park for his first fishing trip
While the fish were too small to bite the lures, Alexander was excited to get some bites.
Joey enjoyed watching all the geese
Niko was along for the ride, too
We may not have caught our dinner, but we enjoyed Long John Silver's for dinner which was almost like fresh caught! ;)
We look forward to seeing you guys again, soon!
That was the best time in a long time being with the family. Thanks for taking Joey for a walk/run in the mornings. Unfortunately the fun ended to soon.
