Grandma and Papa

We have spent the last two weeks in Nebraska at my parent's house. The first weekend, my brother, his wife and their daughter were here as well. Will and Aleia had so much fun playing together. They learned all kinds of new tricks together (for example Will has learned how to turn his body limp when he doesn't want to do something....a little trick he learned from Aleia). They played in the new car that grandma and papa got Will and sometimes had a hard time sharing. It was really good for both of them to learn to share.

Later in the week, Will got to go golfing with papa and grandma. Will got to drive the cart, have rootbeer and play all around the golf course. He even saw his first rabbit.

Then, grandma took Will to the lake here in town and he got to feed the ducks. They were all crazy for the food and Will wanted to play in the water with them. We didn't let him of course, because the water is disgusting! He had a really great time and kept saying duck, duck, duck all day. He then got to go see a train engine and climb up on it. After all that fun, Will got his first ice cream cone. He loved it....it was all over him and the car! What a day!!

The other night, grandma and I took Will to the fountain where Brad and I got married. The fountain has since been renovated and it is really pretty and Will loved seeing how high the water went. He kept saying, WOW! We then walked over to the park and he got to play on the play ground equipment. They have a really nice place for big kids and little kids. He went down all of the slides...even the BIG ones!! He also went on the swings and kept telling grandma, "again, again" (a new word he learned that night).

The bowling alley opened this week and we have been going down there for lunch. Will got to go bowling and he had a blast. Now every time we go in there, he says, "bowl, bowl." Papa even had a shirt that had a bowling pin on it the other day and Will went up to him and pointed at the pin and said, "bowl."

We are wrapping up our trip today and will be heading to Hastings tomorrow. We are sure going to miss grandma and papa and can't wait for another trip out here!!

Wow! sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. :) Sorry to hear about the tooth. I hope he is ok.
We call Will's new trick the limp noodle. :) How can a kid instantly gain 20 pounds just by making their body limp, I will never know.
Have a safe trip back. :)
