Bampa Doc comes from Florida

We were fortunate to have another visitor come and see us in the month of June. Bampa Doc drove up from Florida to spend a week with us. Since I am waaaaay behind in my posts I will try to wrap up the details quickly and let the pictures do the talking. We had a few hot days in the beginning of his stay, but nothing he wasn't used to from living in South Florida. We spent a lot of the mornings inside playing and the afternoons at the pool. Jack loved having a someone to play with in the big pool. They went on all kinds of adventures as he rode on Bampa Doc's back through the water. I was able to have Will in the kiddie pool so everyone was happy. Bampa Doc bought Jack a snorkel and mask which he thought was very cool-until he tried to put the mask on. It was too smelly for him! Jack (and Will) played with the snorkel in the kiddie pool, taking turns filling it up with water and blowing into it to shoot the water in the air. Unfortunately, I do not have enough hands at the pool to both swim and take pictures. 

During one of the first days of his visit, Bampa Doc showed Jack the proper technique for car washing as they both gave my car a much needed bath. Before they started he asked me, "Is Jack strong enough to work the trigger on the hose attachment?" "Just wait and see I said." In the end, Bampa Doc and the trees ended up the most wet! Jack can work the hose JUST FINE! I later explained that if Jack gets a hold of the hose, Tom and I end up soaking wet in an epic battle to get to the faucet to shut off the water or try and regain control of the hose. He LOVES soaking us!

Getting his first lesson.

"I'm going to add just a little more water."

Shiny and clean.

Wash, wash

Rinse time.

The days were hot, but we were still able to be outside. We ran around, played catch, rode bikes and explored the backyard. Jack drove Bampa Doc's car around the circle and they played a game of "Find a ______ color car." Jack chose yellow as the color in one round of the game, but after quite some time they had to give up. Not too many yellow cars pass by here I guess. Will, although short and tiny, kept Bampa Doc on his toes. He walked all the way to the end of the cul-de-sac and just as Bampa Doc caught up to him, he doubled back and headed back towards the street. He had us all laughing. 

Trying to make a run for it. 

Just when he wasn't looking, Will doubled back to make his escape.

If only my legs were a little longer....

But I can still ring this bell....

Finally some cooperation!

Thank you Bampa Doc for driving up from Florida to see us and spend a week with us. It was crazy, but fun. We loved having you visit and look forward to our Skype dates and another visit soon.
