Wendy and Nate were going on a weekend get-away and Mimi and PopPop watched Luke and Elise for a few days. So we had all 4 watkins grandkids hanging out. They dont get to see each other that often, so it was non-stop playing for 4 days! I was exhausted!
We had lots of leftover birthday cupcakes:
Read lots of books with Mimi:
Waited for PopPop to get home:
Went to the mall on rainy days:
Went to the park on sunny days:
Played lots of ‘mousy’ with Elise:
And did lots of bubbles and popsicles outside:
The highlight of the visit was the firetruck at PopPops office! Dad was getting a certificate of appreciation and they wanted to do a photo-op in front of a firetruck, so he had them come by the office while the kids were in town. Major grandpa brownie points. The kids had an awesome time getting an upfront and personal experience with the firetruck. The firemen were so nice and let the kids do all sorts of fun stuff:
Playing with the hose:
Sitting in the driver’s seat (Wil was actually the first person to sit in the seat, and pushed the horn and made the siren go off, so they had to turn it off for everyone else, haha):
Climbing on the back:
and new hats!
All the cousins had an awesome time the whole week. And the best news of all – at the end of the week – the 5th watkins grandchild was born. Cole was born on June 5th. We are so excited to meet him next month. Congrats Maggie and Phil – Cole is so lucky to have you!
