The best part was that the extra week gave my Grandma Peterson a chance to fly out to Boise. We loved visiting with her! She is a great lady and a wonderful example to her 30 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. She has always been a big influence and very involved in all of our lives.
She has the magic touch! I handed her Caden while she and my Dad were watching a loud BYU vs. Air Force basketball game, within minutes he fell sound asleep.
We had a fun time bowling with Grammy, Papa and Great Grandma.
Ethan loved using the dinosaur and the pink bubble gum ball.
We had a great post holiday week which of course included plenty of ice cream cake,
and a motorcycle ride!
When we visited in October my Dad let Ethan play at the playground at the school during their ride, he hoped that by going a different direction Ethan wouldn't remember the playground. No such luck, about 2 mins. into the ride Ethan asked Papa where the park was...so they had to stop and play.
We also learned that we can survive a night without Brown Dog. He was accidentally left at a friend's house one night. Oh my. The tears and the sobbing lasted through the night. Thankfully Grammy had quite a collection of stuffed animals to fill in that night. When Brown Dog came home the next day the reunion was marvelous! He was reintroduced to all of the Christmas decorations, etc. Even that day Ethan would tear up remembering how he had been gone.
We had a great time! Today Ethan asked me if we could go to Grammy's house. We wish we were just a little closer. Even though the good-byes are always hard it was worth it for the fun times we had together and memories we made!
