Great Grandsons trip with nanny and granddad.......................

We had Tristen this weekend as usual but he asked if Cooper could come for the day on Saturday. We had Gabby bring him Friday night and pick up Saturday night. They did great. A bit exuberant to begin with but settled down. I hate to think all that went on Friday night, I don't think much sleeping was happening but I believe in building memories and so.............what happened happened and I hope they will remember as they grow up, the fun times that had together at "nannies house" So Saturday we set of on our adventure. Tristen wanted to show Cooper "his" beach. It was good to see blossoms starting to pop

We showed him our favourite cow

We went straight to the beach instead of our usual routine. With two of them in the van and a box of markers we dare not linger long.........so with Tristens instructions to go further down the road and find our spot we did just that. The forest sheltered the beach from the wind and so it was nice and sunny and warm.

coats off......

having shown Cooper around they did whatever they did in the woods and the fort on the beach. I collected rocks and walked to see what was around the bend. Still didn't get that far but it's beautiful

After they had enough of the beach they wanted to go to the pond and look for frogs. Cooper was very enthusiastic.

Cooper came up with the brilliant idea of getting nets. I will get them some for next time. I am just afraid they will fall in otherwise. Cooper didn't have much luck and I thought he would go headfirst in. He said thats OK and yes I guess what happens at Nannie's stays at Nannies. I asked if he enjoys his time at our house. "Heck yes" he says. Well that was probably because we stop for snacks before we set out and they got candy and a donut and soda.

We had to stop at the park and throw them out to get out their yaya's they were way too wound up in the car and only half way home. That did the trick. I was loving the trees budding against the blue sky

Today Tristen wanted to stay home and has been quiet all day haha.............I love walking on the beach. I go off on my own and I talk to God, yes I do. I thank him for the beauty, even the beauty in the stones that I love, all that he made. I also thank him for being able to be at my age, able to walk on the beach with my Great grandsons. That in it'self is a miracle and I am so thankful to be that blessed. (although the previouse night at 3am not so much LOL) May we be blessed with more active years to enjoy before they get so old they won't want to be with Nanny and Granddad

I have a large imagination. I believe in faries and dragons, and unicorns. These things are too beautiful not to exist....somewhere...
