We have just returned from a trip to see Abe's parents. Though the journey was long and hard on us all, it was worth it. We had a great time.
Leo loves spending time with his doting grandparents. He follows them around like a doting puppy and leads them like a little Hitler! Like at home, he loves to feed the animals, but up there he also got to ride them. At first, he was a little scared of being on a horse, but he asked to do it again and loved it. After riding in front of Abe for a little while, he then got on by himself and Abe led him. He continues to talk about it constantly.We also had a belated Christmas, which of course Leo loved as well. Amazing how quickly a child learns the appeal of presents!
Nico had a great time too. A whole new house to crawl around and get into trouble in.
Unfortunately the weather was cold and windy for a lot of the time we were there, which limited the time spent outside. But it did eventually clear and we got to go to a park. Nico went on a swing for the first time, which he thought was fantastic. I guess we'll have to set up the toddler swing we made for Leo, so that Nico can have some more time gliding through the air, especially as it is now wind season and so cannot go outside as much as the boys would like.So now we're home and settled back in. We have a huge long list of things to do, as always, but it'll all have to wait until the wind dies down.
