It was good to be on Vancouver Island once again and visit with family. It was even more fun to discover the beach with Henry. He, of course, wanted to go wading and grandma was happy to oblige. There were rocks to climb, logs to walk, crabs to chase and a whole lot more. It was a very fun day.
Relaxing
Most people think that I am incapable of relaxing. Not true. Or at least it is less true than it used to be. I love to relax as long as I get to keep moving while I do so. I even sit down from time to time and put my feet up - for a few minutes. This week Janis I are on a bit of a ‘relaxing’ road trip to the upper Vancouver Island to visit some family. We took Henry along to keep me from getting bored. It’s working so far.
Jeeping with Henry
With the warmer summer weather Henry has been out in the yard a whole lot more. it didn’t take him long to notice the little Jeep we made to go in our local parades. One ride up and down the driveway and he was sold. The little vehicles gos much faster than our lawn tractor and that is a whole lot of fun! Now it is his favourite thing to do. Each time I see him he asks to go out to ride… again and again and again until grampa just can’t say no. He sits tight against me, thoroughly enjoying the ride as we roar up and down our 300 foot long driveway, again and again and again. Henry’s second favourite thing to do is to pretend he’s driving grampa’s big Jeep. Later, when I jump in to run an errand it makes me laugh as when I start it up the windshield wipers come on, the radio is much louder than I like it and the heater is turned all the way to much too hot. I know Henry has been playing with all of the controls. It’s all worth it to hear his laugh!
