A Day at Papa and Nana's

So, I took the boys to Papa and Nana's house last week, and we had a good time! Todd needed to get some stuff done around the house without the boys interrupting, so ... we headed on down.

While we were there, we had lunch with Papa at McDonald's and then headed on in to Coldwater to see Nana at The Museum Gallery. The boys got to feed the fish and sadly, we found out that Big George had passed .... so there weren't so many big fish to feed this time around. Then we headed into the gym and the boys played there for an hour and a half while Todd's dad and I talked.

When we got back to Nana and Papa's house ... Grant wanted to show off how he could ride a two wheeler. He did such a great job! He was a little upset that there weren't any sidewalks and that he had to stay in the driveway, however ... he managed quite well in their HUGE driveway!

While Grant was showing off on his bike, Gavin went into the barn and "started up" the four-wheeler. He even remembered his helmet! It was really funny watching him "tear out" of the barn on that machine (well, it's a battery operated vehicle that doesn't really go that fast, but he thought he was FLYING!).

The next day ... before we left, the boys noticed that the field behind Papa and Nana's was being planted. There was a tractor going up and down the field and he was really moving fast (for a tractor anyway ...). Grant and Gavin just had to see what was going on! So, they ran to the edge of the field and when the tractor came their way, they waved. They were both invited to take a ride in the tractor and, of course, both declined ("nu-uh"). But, as soon as he started the tractor back up, Grant decided that yes ... he did want to ride in the tractor. So, when he came back around, Papa helped Grant up into the tractor and they rode up and down the field twice! Grant had so much fun! I never realized how large these tractors were until I stood there trying to get a picture of Grant sitting in it! It was pretty neat!
