Jayden Came to Play

What can possibly hope to follow the thrills and chills of a cruise?

A visit from grandchildren is just the ticket!
Jenette came out for her grandfather's funeral and stayed for several weeks.
Jayden was more than happy to help me disassemble the gingerbread house.He checked to see if there was any laundry that needed to be done
(whilst wearing his new snowboots.)
He helped stack up stray letters.
And YES! There WAS some time spent with trains.

He listened for any sound of mom returning from her errands.

Checked to make sure gramma had a good supply of condiments.

Helped take care of the strawberries before they went bad.

And FINALLY!!! Got let outside! Heading straight for... "The Puddle"
and some long awaited rock throwing.

The boots worked really well at keeping the water out.

Happy boy behind the wheel.

Even happier boy, behind the wheel, in the puddle.

Whadda ya mean it's time to go in?!?

"They Might Be Giants ABC's" are not nearly as good as my puddle.
Miss my perpetual motion, train boy now that he's gone home.

But never fear, there are more images to come....
this was just day one :o)

How nice to have a visit--a nice long one! What's not to like about a puddle. I can remember hours of fun in some of the ones that would form in the driveway on the ranch. How much fun for a little guy!

He's adorable! I love little boys...their adventures are always full of fun :) You captured his adventures perfectly. Glad it was a good visit!

He is growing up, as all kids seem to.
Wish I could have been there to see him and the proud parents too.

BUT... this is the next best thing. Great pictures of his contemplations and adventures.

Thanks!
