The First Visit

Much to my delight.....

...........about the middle of August, Mommy and the little boys came to our house!  Mommy and Munchie stayed for the night and then headed back in the morning.  Curtie.....

..... stayed at our house for a visit.  In the morning while Poppa was golfing, Curtie and I walked up to the grocery store to find some treats for him.  I let him pick whatever he wanted....

.... and he ended up with quite a variety of things to snack on.  He was only here for a couple of days, but he managed to cram in quite a bit of activities.  He went a couple of time to the beach with Poppa - but I stayed at home and didn't get pictures of their fun times there.  They both came home happy about their adventures though.  Aside from that....

... and after he had chosen some snacks to enjoy.....

.......... and tasting some of everything to determine what he liked best..........

........which took quite a while and required some Coke to wash it all down...........

..... he decided to try out Poppa's computer while I read my e-mail and caught up on the news....

........... he was doing jigsaw puzzles...........

....... and he was quite good at getting them done!  That's what we did in the morning while Poppa was golfing.

In the afternoons things got a little livelier.  He went outside with Poppa.........

........ where they could practice shooting the new nerf gun that Curtie chose as his "vacation souvenir".

I usually took this opportunity to try and clean off the island somewhat, though it seemed to collect a lot of stuff with the addition of a small person to the household.

But, I had lots of time, as the boys went outside with the gun the next day too - after they had been to the beach....

........... they played some more with the gun - which had little foam bullets that actually came flying out of it - which kept them busy finding them after firing.  I believe they only lost one and managed to retrieve all the others.

And just before I called them in for supper, Curtis watered the plants for Poppa.
