The only thing better than seeing two grandkids is seeing four grandkids. Twice the love! Exponential love! Crazy cross country stuff going on. Matt and Amanda flew east on 6/25 to prep Ani for summer camp at Camp Nokomis. Bear Island camps on lake Winnepesaukee are becoming a family tradition! So far, Matt, Kate, Angela, and Jackie have gone. Now Ani. Who's next :) I flew west to Anaheim for a fencing competition and had an awesome visit with Anastasia & family and George.
Highlights of this time:
- Ani and Grey went mini golfing for the first time and Ani got a hole-in-one on the first hole.
- Ani and Grey visited with Aunt Judy and Uncle Don in Wilmington.
- Ani went off to camp and Amanda did not have a complete emotional breakdown.
- Greyson went with Matt and Amanda to a beautiful vacation home with Pat and the Sorensen family. I'm sure he's not being spoiled there or anything.
- I took 3rd place in the Vet 50 Women's Epee (cheered on by my Brewkids). I rubbed Toby's wiffle cut head for luck frequently.
- Toby and Madeline got introduced to yoga, or as Toby calls it "yugo"
- George took the training wheels off Maddie's bike and she is riding like a big kid.
I spent a night on the Cape with Matt, Amanda and Greyson. We stayed at the Blue Water in Yarmouth. It was a great setup right on the beach. Grey split his time between the pool and the ocean. His favorite part?
Probably climbing on the sand dune.
Update: 7/16
Over the weekend I picked up Ani from the camp boat. She'll be staying in Boston with me until Wed night, when we fly back to Seattle. On Sunday we went paddling in the Charles. Then we went to the family swim at the YMCA. While I'm at work this week she'll be at Sue DiPalma's house hanging out with all the east coast cousins.
Whew! What a packed couple of weeks. How blessed am I? Here is a link to our photos.
