Summer Vacation Part 1: Grandma's House!

If Grandma is around it is ALWAYS a vacation!
But even BETTER when I get to spend time with her at her house.

My favourite things to do at Grandma's house:

1. Swim in Papa's pool

2. Swim in Aunt Jody's pool

3. Did I mention swimming in Papa's pool?... AND

4. Never having to hear the word "no"


While staying at grandma's, we decided to visit this place called 'the county' aka Ruthven.

Mom grew up in this strange place and, according to her, there are lots of advantages to spending time here such as fresh air, love of eighties hair bands and Colasanti's!


Colasanti's is awesome and was made even better with great company - Owen, Avery and Walker! (and of course Dana and Great Aunt Bonnie too!)

This is a pic of Avery and Owen... and firsthand gockey in action!

Not dissimilar to Ruthven, Colasanti's is home to lots of strange things

....including mutant fish


And these bees and caterpillars you can ride in!

(over AND over AND over again....)
County livin' is like the wild west...
"don't make me pull out my 9 and bust a cap!"

As a city boy I do have some serious reservations about the free-roaming wildlife
"Ummm shouldn't this thing have a leash and a license?"

Thanks Grandma for letting me hang out with you... but perhaps we'll avoid the demon-horned random wildlife next time :)

I love when you come to our house for vacation! It was good that the weather was good for the swimming in the pools....your a fish in the making....next year you'll be doing the cannonballs with Parker and Brooke. Thanks Dana and Aunt Bonnie, Owen, Avery, and Walker for joining us for a fun day of riding rides and playing putt putt and sharing lunch in Ruthven. We also did a lot of other stuff that I didn't get pictures of, (I'm bad for that), but we had lots of fun!

We loved having you and your Mom for some fun time here in Windsor.
We miss you!
Higs and Kisses!
Love,
Grandma!
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
We love you!
