A visit from Grammy and Pappy

This post has a LOT of pictures, but we just had a LOT of fun this week- our Grammy and Pappy came to see us! I think they came to see Mommy and Daddy too, but they REALLY liked seeing Katie and me. Here I am, but where were they? Not here yet!
They came, and they brought us toys! Katie got a toy that talked to her when you pulled the handle...
And what's in this box?
Hurry up, Pappy!
It's a baler for my tractor, and Pappy showed me how to work it!
Katie liked her animal toys, too.
That afternoon, we took Grammy and Pappy to one of our favorite places, the Florida Aquarium. I think they watched Katie and me more than the fishies! Here they are helping me pet some rays.
Katie was too little to pet them, so she just watched.
Pappy liked looking at the fishies with me! I told him all about the things we saw.
I told Grammy about them, too. This was a BIG alligator!
Katie was showing my Daddy where the otters live.
And I showed their home to my Grammy.
What's in here, Pappy?
Look! BIG fishies!
Pappy is reading the sign for me.
Oooh.... Look....
I don't know what Katie is looking at here, but she wasn't paying attention when Pappy was reading to her. She's still just a baby.
Here she is, paying attention this time.
I liked this tank!Those fishies were really cool!
Pappy took me to the Touch Tank and helped me to pet lots of things like this starfish.
And this starfish, too.
And this anemone. Grammy didn't pet anything.
Well, she did put THIS little sea animal. It's ME!
Here I am again!
Katie was too little. All she did was suck her thumb.
"Where are the sharks, Grammy?"
Look!!! A Shark!!!
I was so excited when I saw those big guys.
I love looking at the sharks.
Katie really liked them, too.
She also enjoyed catching this funny stuff that came in the air.
Wonder what she was looking for here?
Peek-a-boo! Where are we?
Next we went outside to the water section. I waited and waited and waited until I could play with this water cannon, and was it ever fun!
I climbed on all kinds of animals. I wasn't even afraid of them, even though Mr. Alligator was showing all of his teeth.
Katie didn't play in the water. She's too little. She ran around on the cushy floor.
I climbed into the starfish to see if he was comfy. He was.
Katie didn't climb in, cut she still liked it.
I climbed down the rope bridge.
Pappy took me all over the water section!
Daddy helped Katie on the sliding board!
That night, Grammy let Katie wear her jacket she earned by running the Boston Marathon. When we're bigger Katie and I want to run big races like our Grammy and our Aunt Beth!
The next day, Mommy and Grammy went out for tea. I don't know what that is. They had fun, though, and when they came home Mommy and Grammy took me to the store. Grammy bought a balloon for me and one for Katie!!! I was SO excited with my balloon that I went running into the house, and I slipped and whacked my head HARD on the table. Ouch! I cried a lot, but not for long. I got a big bump on my head, though. That's my Kitty I'm holding to make it feel better.
Pappy read to me!!! He's a really good book reader. We sat on my big bear in my room, and I really had fun. I hope he reads to Grammy like that, too!

I was sleepy that night! I snuggled up on Grammy's lap and watched TV with her and my Pappy.
She has a very nice lap for a sleepy boy.
I was still sleepy the next morning, too.
The next Dady Pappy read to Katie. He was trying to teach her who all our Sesame Street friends were.
Katie was really learning! Pappy was proud of her, and so was I.
They took us for ICE CREAM!!!!! I managed to get it all over myself. My Grammy said I'm a dirt magnet.
Katie likes ice cream too. She and Grammy had a nice talk about how good it is.
She's a happy little sister!
Before they left Grammy and Pappy took us all to the store again to get food to cook for dinner. We drove this big cart for Pappy!
And I got tomatoes! Oh, I love my tomatoes.
Grammy made sure I used my napkin, and I loved having her sit with me to eat.
Thank you very much for coming to visit us, Grammy and Pappy! Please come back very soon!
