Nan and Papa's Place

Another week flown by, which of course means another slightly late blog post. Thankfully we have tomorrow off so perhaps we'll get that one in on time. The week itself was fairly uneventful, but we made up for it by heading down to visit some grandparents.

For Owen, the week was about recovering from the long weekend and relaxing a lot.

What? Jumping is relaxing to him.

This was before he took a nosedive into my camera. Sorry Owen!

I said I was sorry. Stop calling the police. Also that's not connected to a phone.

For Max, it was all about the arts and crafts. These days, we can't seem to get home without him asking for a pair of scissors and a glue stick so he can do a little creating at the kitchen table. He's already filled up the fridge and a bulletin board in his room, so it came as a welcome surprise when his teacher asked him to make an "all about me" poster. He wasted no time with the scissors and the glue and the glitter glue and the stickers and...

Words don't really do it justice.

Once the week drew to a close, we packed up the car and made the drive down south so we could spend some much needed time with Nan and Papa. Judging by the photos we got, we pretty much just spent the entire time in the pool, which meant...

…and, of course, stealing our brother's goggles.

We did play inside a little bit.

But only a little bit.

The grandparents graciously allowed us a night out, so we headed out for some cajun fare. When we returned, we found that they'd put our son in mortal danger by allowing him to jump off the diving board. No, not the one who knows how to swim. The other one. Yeah, the little guy. I'm not sure whether we're more upset that this was allowed or that we missed the opportunity to capture it on film. We tried to repeat the performance the next day and he refused. He knows!

Looks like that's all we have for the week. If you want to see some more pool photos, feel free to click here. See you next time!
