The magnolias are in blossom at Gramma's.
They're not good climbing trees, but for one week out of the year,
they're so extraordinary they take your breath away.
Grampa is never idle.
You can walk barefoot in our garage and not get your feet dirty.
Micaela loves the turkey sausage balls Grampa makes for Nolan.
Nilah concurs.
Nilah is wearing Gramma Deb style shoes.
The girls discover Nolan's cupboard.
Nilah is holding the phone Grampa made so the boys can hear themselves speak.
Granted this generation will never use a phone like this.
This is Grampa's idea to be sure there's peace and quiet
until EVERYONE wakes up from their nap.
Nolan isn't fond of stuffed animals.
And he certainly doesn't want them to get too close to Daddy.
Naptime's over. Come and get us.
I hope they've got our snack ready.
Friday includes dinner with everyone.
Grampa is serving honey mustard chicken, drizzled with a little rain sauce.
I found someone else to play with.
"Thank you, Nolan for sharing your plane."
The maintenance crew checks out the plane from wing to wing.
"Do you have a reservation for this flight?"
There's a whole lot of dancing going on.
Nolan performs in the background on drums.
This is the teepee Grampa made for Meghan and Meredith Maddock.
The design on the teepee is courtesy of them.
It then went to Jim and Andrea's boys,
before coming to the twins and now to Nolan.
The design has been updated with PVC pipe.
The Native Americans would have had an easier time, if PVC had been around.
News from the Califonia Crew
I guess Nathan won't need me to help him on the monkey bars anymore.
I'm sure at this point, I'd be the one needing help.
I used to do the monkey bars so much at our school, I had callouses on my palms.
I was much older than four years.
Riding horses goes hand in hand with living in the west.
The boys are sitting taller in their saddles these days.
