Visit from Avery, Uncle John, and Aunt Heather
July 26th, 2011. (3 years, 1 month old.) by benLast week, Avery and her Mommy and Daddy came to visit. It started with a pickup at the airport.
It wasn’t long before I was giving rides on my trike to my cuz’.
The next day, we went to see the big trees.
Yep. They’re still really big. We had fun collecting sticks.
On Saturday, I took Avery to my favorite park where you can feed the ducks. We found out they like bread better than lettuce… just like us!
After that I got to try out a REAL power digger. With this one, you pull the levers to move the scooper from side to side and up and down, and there’s one to open and close it, too!
And after that it was time for a ride on the train, and then one on the merry-go-round.
Wow, was that a fun day!
On Sunday, Uncle John and Aunt Heather took us to a castle! It had a moat, drawbridge, and what Daddy says is called a “portcullis”, which is a really spiky looking front door. Boy could you see a long way from the top of the castle.
After the castle, it was time for a ride to the park. I went in front so that Avery could follow me because I knew the way.
We mostly went on the slides and bars at the park.
I turns out is is really fun to slide right into the wood chips. The bigger the pile, the better!
After we were done at the park, we got a tow back home up the hill.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Thanks for coming to visit guys! I had a really fun time! Come back any time!
I’ll take you up on that invite, Ben, just as soon as I can get my mom and dad to get their lazy buns off the couch! I don’t know why they’re so tired; you and I were the ones who spent the whole trip running and playing. And running. And playing. And running. Love you!
Ben, your cousin Avery looks like just the right friend to have over when you went on all those fun adventures. I’m glad you had fun running, playing and biking together. It is nice to have someone about your size and age to play with! You two are a good pair.
Oh WOW! That sure looked like a fun filled time!! Loooved all the pictures from your adventures Ben!
How could any two children be so cute? Am I just prejudiced or are they really the cutest grandchildren on the face of the earth? Love, your Grandma
