Notes from Up North

Well, the boys and I have been in Crystal Lake for Spring Break visiting grandma and grandpa.  Overall we have had a good time and I thought I would share a glimpse of our week.  Below we are at the lake.  The snow geese were back on the lake and we were checking them out.  Unfortunately when we went back down to the lake there were only a few left on the lake.

One of the highlights of the week was Robby FINALLY lost his 3rd tooth.  Grandpa pulled it out with a pair of pliers.  I was hoping that he would wait until we got home to lose it but obviously that didn't happen.  The tooth fairy gave him a $2 bill.  The Crystal Lake tooth fairy is a bit more generous than the PH tooth fairy. 

Here is everyone humoring me with a picture. 

Robby's favorite activity of the week has been playing basketball. They found an old ball (that they initially thought was a beehive) that we have been playing with. Robby is mad at the rain and thinks we should play anyway. He doesn't understand getting old...



I don't know what to say about the golf cart.  Robby is thrilled that his legs are long enough to reach the pedals.  Grandma drove it off their property for the first time (and she did stellar BTW).  It is by far the preferred method of transportation. 

Everyone has been having a great time.  Robby and Caleb have been going to the Senior Center each morning for cookies.  Rob has also been studying the state flags determining which ones are the easiest to make (TX and AL) and which are the most difficult to make (TBD).  We also got a nice lesson on stamps from Postmaster Lisa. 

Time to return home tomorrow and see our puppy who we understand is really missing us and of course Baba.  See you guys soon.
