Jackson and Tucker were very busy yesterday. Lately, they have been enamored with the Hot Wheels bike and the little green car, so they spent the late morning and all afternoon riding those around the driveway. I had the bright idea to lay out on the deck in my vain attempt to get a tan, but my attempts were thwarted when Seth came home from work early and pointed out that it might not be the best idea to lay out in the sun when my back is still peeling from last week’s sunburn.
So, we packed up the boys, some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and headed out to Milnor. Seth has a camper parked out on his family’s land that he has decided to strip down. I was supposed to help him tip it over and remove it from the trailer frame, but my noodle arms are most definitely not built for that kind of exertion, so he called his friend Lance and sent me and the boys to town.We stopped at Grandpa A.’s house and he wasn’t home, Grandpa and Grandpa E. weren’t home either. I was starting to think that I might have to help with the camper after all when we spotted Grandpa A.’s Subaru parked downtown at thecafe.
The boys spent most of the time just climbing up and down the stairs at Grandpa’s house.Then, they ran across the street into the neighbor’s front yard and started throwing rocks across their lawn. Talk about embarrassing.
Of course, no visit to Grandpa’s would be complete without a dish of ice cream and he had just enough left for Jackson and Tucker. He also had some candy bars that the boys were more than happy to gobble down.

Talk about embarrassing.Grandpa has been moving furniture around and told me that he does that on Sunday’s because it gets so lonely around there on the weekends. I was starting to feel bad for him, but then Jackson turned on the answering machine and there was a message from Aunt Kathy. Grandpa called her back and then my dad called, and then Grandpa’s brother Dale called. I began to realize that when it comes to being lonely, he might have been pulling my leg.

The boys and I had fun with Grandpa and I’m pretty sure that he found asoulmate in Jackson. Or maybe he just likes Jackson’s middle name 🙂
that last picture is priceless – LOVE it!
