Out & About With the Three C's

Last week our time with the grandchildren was spent mostly at the park. What fun we all had. Chris LOVES the swing and Claire loved taking a turn pushing him.
Chris wants to be involved in whatever those big sisters are doing. He walked and walked and walked.

We took the soccer ball as well as the bat and softball for some fun in the big grassy area.

On Friday, Claire and Chloe came home with Papa and I for the weekend. Our first activity was taking their bikes to a big flat parking lot at one of the schools in our town. Chloe is taking a break to sit with Papa and visit. Claire continued to pedal around. Saturday afternoon we did a repeat of that activity and they "rode like the wind" for quite some time.





Later the girls did some batting practice with Coach Papa helping them learn how to hold the bat. Papa spent many years coaching and officiating baseball and softball (and football and basketball) so I know he will be a big help to them as they learn and begin sports.










The bubble machine that I got as a retirement gift still works quite well. The kids still LOVE it and it gets lots of use. It is partially taped together now so maybe I should look at replacing it. :)

Saturday night Chris (or Batman) got to join the overnight party. That was really fun, he slept with Papa and I and did really well. It is impossible to "toddler proof" this old house with the stairs and the number of rooms and doors but we did our best. For the few hours he was here it worked out very well. I'm not sure I could possibly keep up with him for multiple days and nights yet. Maybe next year!

Chris and Claire give a concert prior to going home on Sunday morning. We had such a great weekend and I hope the next visit isn't too far away.



Happy May Day....coming up!!!
