Jude had such a blast last week with Grumpa and Mimi at their house out in the Dumas Canyan! He got to leave his little brother behind for almost an entire week to go on a "big kid" adventure with his two oldest cousins, Kathryn (8) and Ivye (5). They got to ride "Hershey" the donkey, "Dixie Raisin" the horse, "Molly" the pony sized dog & play with kittens just to start! Mimi kept them all busy with such fun activities! They had a tea party outside, went to the big city pool and got to help pick fresh strawberries! It was definitely a week none of the cousins, or grandparents will soon forget!! The smiles in the pics say it all!!
Riding on Hershey
Loving on sweet Dixie Raisin
Jude has been asking all weekend already when he gets to see Grumpa again. I love that he was able to have the week of bonding time! He thinks "Grumpa is awesome!"
Best Buds! Grumpa and Jude bug! ♥♥♥
Playing on the back porch. Mimi said "This is a man's house. Jude has a car in every room. Earlier he had Woody from Toy Story driving a pink Barbie corvette"
I was so thankful she kept in conversation with all the parents all week sending us adorable pics and text updates. She's always SO thoughtful! The kids are lucky to have her in their lives and we as parents are so fortunate she loves our kiddos like she does!! ♥♥♥
All the kids LOVE Mimi's kitty cats!
"Kitty Katy Kathy Kid"... That's what Stan calls Kathryn, when he's not calling her Suzy! :)
Mimi says - "We named Jude Captain Courageous. At first he'd barely get in the water but soon he actually stood under the big pail as it dumped right on his head. He grinned from ear to ear. Of course big cousin Kathryn encouraged him to be brave."
While Jude bug hung out with Grumps and cousins at the city pool....
I hung out at our neighborhood pool and caught some sun myself while Joel napped. *sigh* Life is good!
Anybody care for tea?!
Looks like Hershey would like some, too.... hehe.
Enjoying their last full day at Grumpa & Mimi's
Mimi spoiled the cousins from arrival to departure! She handmade them personal goody bags for their road trip home, which included coloring books/markers, goofy glasses, candy, cheetos (Jude's favorite!), dancing and singing flowers and a very very sweet love letter! ♥♥♥
Joel is invited to join in the Panhandle adventure next year but for now...he seemed to enjoy his time "left behind" just as much as Jude enjoyed his time away!
