Delightful Grandkids

The last BIG thing on our marvelous trip was a stop in the Dallas area to see our grandchildren. And what a wonderful time that turned out to be.

We arrived at our campground early enough to get set up and cleaned up before heading to Chris’s house after he got off work. The first order of business there was to see what grandpa and grandma brought the kids.

Sha’Micah (almost 2) got a bear, made by her grandmother.

Chrislon (6) got a puzzle from Mount Rushmore. (He’s such a ham!)

And he also got a Zoom-O which he couldn’t wait to take outside to play with.

Chris and Shad got a balloon whirl-a-gig and various food samples from around the country.

Did I mention Chrislon couldn’t wait to play with his new toy? Before it got too dark, we were up the street at the park so that he could try it out. And he loved it!

This was taken on the way back to their house. It was just too cute not to share. Kinda reminiscent of Opie and Andy, isn’t it?

On Saturday, Chrislon came to spend the morning with us while the rest of the family ran some errands. We had our own errand to Camping World – the cover to the hot water heater had fallen off somewhere in west Texas. So the little man rode along with us to get that replaced. You know how kids have toy-radar? Well, Chrislon is no exception. He found a toy pickup and toy-hauler. Well, we couldn’t let him have that when our RV was a Class A. So we found the racks of other toys and found the right RV for him to have.

The top and side came off and it had little furniture and appliances that you can set up any way you like. He really liked it.

We all had lunch at our RV that day – hot dogs and mac and cheese. After lunch, Sha’Micah decided to chase grandpa with an orange noodle.
After some teasing and raspberries on the tummy, I got this picture, which I love.

By mid-afternoon, we all headed back to Chris & Shad’s house. Grandma and Chrislon went to work on the new puzzle.

Meanwhile, grandpa gave Sha’Micah a ride on his shoulders.

Needless to say, grandma and grandpa slept like babies after a full and fun day with the little ones. We were beat, but we had enjoyed every second of it.

On Sunday we got back together at Chris & Shad’s house. We walked around their development and to the clubhouse, which was all really beautiful. This little river near the clubhouse actually has fish in it and the three generations had to check out those fish.
And here’s their new house. We are so happy for them to be in this great home and wonderful neighborhood.

We didn’t need any rocking to get to sleep Sunday night, either. We had enjoyed being with them so much. It was really wonderful to be with their family for the weekend. It just all went by way too fast.

We have beautiful grandkids, don’t we?
