Grandpa & Grammy

Noah did not skip a beat when Grandpa and Grammy arrived last night from Ohio. We thought it might take him a minute to warm up to them since he hasn't seen them since June and this will only be the third time he's ever seen them. Nope. He showed them all his books on the way home from the airport exclaiming, "Grandpa! Grammy! Look! Play!" even if they only turned their heads away for a moment.

This afternoon we packed a lunch and went to Desert Breeze Park for a picnic. It was a beautiful day to be outside.


Grammy took him on all the playground equipment. They roamed back and forth exploring everything it had to offer.

Grammy also took Noah on the train. Now, they didn't actually get to ride the train. For whatever reason, after they loaded everybody, they didn't start the train. They waited for at least ten minutes. In the mean time, Noah didn't understand what was going on and insisted on getting off. I guess that's not what he had in mind (us either).

So they went on the swing and yelled, "WEEEE!!!"

We almost had the same problem with the carousel. Noah was the first in line but couldn't decide which animal he wanted to sit on only soon deciding that he didn't want to sit at all. Jay had to intervene and choose one for him, place him on it and show him that he would love it - and he did. After all this, we realized it was an hour and a half past his nap time. Ooops!
After dinner, Dad, Pam, Jay, and I went to the Hale Theater and saw the play "Beau Jest". It was really cute. We then enjoyed some Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. Mmm!
