Mimi and Papa Visit!

We had an excellent visit with Mimi and Papa! It was filled with lots of fun activities. The fun started before they even arrived on Thursday because Mommy took us to the observation deck at the airport to watch the airplanes take off and land! I wish we could have stayed longer, but we saw Mimi and Papa's plane land so we had to go pick them up at the terminal. It was a really hot day when they arrived so we went to the pool in the afternoon. I had fun swimming, especially with Papa who showed me how to climb the ladder so I could jump into the water in the deep end! Mommy can tell that I'm getting braver in the water because now I just walk right in the water after Cora. 

On Friday we went to the Museum of Life and Sciences in Durham. That is a fun place - especially since there is a train to ride! I enjoyed seeing dinosaurs, playing with boats, running in the spray water, building blocks with Papa, roaring in the big picnic dome, and jumping on interactive mats (until a little boy rolled on top of my head and bruised my nose!). I'm a tough guy so that didn't matter. The most important part is I had a really great time at the museum with Mimi and Papa!

The following day we went blueberry picking. It was much the same experience as the last time -mostly eating, not picking and complaining after 10 minutes that I was done. Thankfully Mommy would let me eat blueberries out of her basket. Daddy was picking blackberries and he found a nest with baby birds in it. It was cool seeing that. If it hadn't been for Mimi and Papa helping us pick I'm not sure how many berries our picking trip would have actually produced. That afternoon, Mommy and Daddy went out so Mimi and Papa babysat us. I read books with Mimi, played parking garage with Papa, rode bikes at the pond and blew bubbles! It was great spending time with Mimi and Papa, I'm so glad they came to visit us.
