Time With Nana and Papa

Before my parents came to visit us this summer at the cottage,

they sent along a gift for each of the boys.

Happy Boy got two books:

Nature Boy and Dancing Boy each got a Swiss Army Knife...

...and began whittling:

Dancing Boy sliced open a knuckle...but survived,

And Nature Boy was proud he didn't draw blood.

However, he DID cut his shorts in three places...

As July turned into August,

My dear, aging parents made a memorable trip up to stay with us for a long weekend.

We celebrated my Dad's 83rd birthday with cake,

My mom and I went into town for pedicures,

And we all went to see the Disney movie, PLANES-

Which we all enjoyed...except for my dad- he took a snooze for most of it!

We spent time taking walks, and sitting and talking with them.

It was a slow-paced weekend,

but so memorable.

(...Who is thankful for Nana & Papa-Thank you, God for time with the best parents and grandparents ever created.)
