A Lot of Work, and a Little Play!

 We didn't make Munchie work the whole time he was visiting.  On his last day, we went for quite a long drive.

The go-kart business that we used to take him to closed down durring the COVID crisis and had not re-opened... so we had to drive a little further.  We found a nice place with a longer track and newer karts.  Once we bought tickets, Munchie got in the starting lineup. (He is near the front, so I'm not sure which one he is driving.)

See Poppa behind the karts?  He went closer so he could see which kart Munchie was in.

And... that kart is carrying Munchie off into the distance.  His driving skills have improved and he went fast!

First trip past the starting gate!

I zoomed in a bit.

And then he was gone again.  The track was so big that he just disappeared behind a hill and off into the distance.  But he enjoyed it, drove excellently and was glad he got one day off!

This is a picture of Aunt Jeannie's granddaughter.  Isn't she beautiful?!?

And one more pic, because I love looking at her!  She's just past two and already looks like a fashion model!

Aunt Jeannie sent me some adorable pictures of teddy bears, and when Squishie saw this one he started asking for a scooter.  So far, we haven't found one the right size!

I suggested that he go out and help Poppa rake leaves instead, like this little fellow, but it didn't work.

Poppa's Amazing Helper!

Munchie came for a holiday at our place - well he really came to give Poppa a hand with some projects..... so "why" you ask is he so sleepy???

Poor little guy, so cute and soooo tired!  By the way, in case you've lost track, our little Munchie will be 13 in October!  Wow - time flies when you're a grandparent!

But... back to the explanation about our tired Munchie.  He came to help Poppa and he worked really hard - as the above photo shows.  apparently the wheelbarrow needed to be weighted down!

And of course, Poppa needed somebody with good eyes to make sure the patio slabs were straight!

Yep - the wheelbarrow hasn't moved!

Poppa is making headway on those patio slabs though!  They are working on the front walk at one of the other units.  Some of the slabs were broken and/or cracked; some were heaving from frost so the walkway was uneven and dangerous.  When this one was done they had to do another one and, at the end of the day, Poppa was so pleased to have a helper!

On a whole other project, as you can see, Munchie worked while Poppa supervised.  This patio was also uneven and very untidy.  There is a new owner in that unit and they asked Poppa if he could fix it. 

Munchie got right on the job using the pressure washer to clean up!

At the end of the day he was tired, but satisfied with his progress and took a few minutes to check out his phone.  How cute he is!!
