Scott's Mom came to visit last weekend, we had a blast. We were lucky to have Grammie Carol here until Wednesday. I had lots of things on the agenda, however, the 100 degree weather put a little damper in our outings, but not much. Coming from Minnesota, where they still were getting snow, Grammie didn't seem to mind the sweltering heat.
Sunday we went to the beach and the boys went looking for sharks. We didn't see any, but we found pleanty of rocks and waves. The boys are really starting to enjoy going to the beach and wave hopping. They giggle and scream as they get soaked, pull to get in deeper, and cry when it is time to leave.
My plan for Monday included the Wild Animal Park. I knew it was going to be HOT, so I devised a new plan of action. I dressed the boys in swim clothes, and we spent the better part of the day by the Lion Camp playing in the water. It's a great little area with an Alligator, a Lion and a Turtle that shoot water out of their heads. The boys love to splash around, and spray themselves and each other with the water. We had to pull them kicking and screaming away from here to have lunch.

Ryan tries on Grammie's hat for size.
That's a shout of glee coming from Ryan's mouth!
"How do you think this works?"
This drowned rat, and his brother, is why we were dressed in swim clothes.
Grammie and the boys had such a fun visit. Ryan and Evan thrive on all of the extra attention, they love having a new audience for their antics. It's so great to have loved ones spend time with the boys, they always come away from visits with new skills, new energy (like they need any more of that), and a new sense of themselves. Oh yeah, and Mommy even got a much needed nap!
Now we just have to get Poppa George out again soon!
