The Great Grandparent Adventure

I might be biased but isn't he the cutest kid ever. This has been a week of ups and downs. But the best part of the week by far was our visit to northern Utah (ok not really "northern") More accurately the Salt Lake, Syracuse, Sunset, North Ogden area to visit our family. Andrew had two days off in the middle of the week so we decided to take a much needed brake and stay with Andrews parents in their new house in Syracuse. We also decided to take this time and go and visit our grandparents. Luke is so lucky to have 4 great-grandparents in the area. So our fist stop was to meet Andrew's Grandpa Cannon in Salt Lake. Andrew's mom met us there as well and we all went out to lunch. "Grandpa Great" as he is affectionitely called was a big hit with Luke. Sidenote- I also burnt Luke's mouth for the first time. I felt so bad. I put a peice of pasta in his mouth but didn't feel the bottom of the ravioli. Sad. But we had so much fun and then headed up to Syracuse to play with Andrews parents.

At Andrew's parents' house we watched Martin Chuzzlewit that night. (It's a BBC adaption of the the Charles Dickens novel) We watched our Mutual Friend last time, and we love them all. I think under the influence of Andrew's family I getting addicted to anything BBC. And then for my birthday, which is later this month Andrew's mom gave me BBC Charles Dickens collection!! We're really excited to watch them.

We also got to visit Luke's great grandma Francine and had a blast. Luke just wanted to play (and cry). You see, we decided to visit great grandma instead of have nap time. Whoops. But he did get to play with a great grandma's favorite toy (he may or may not have broken it).

Next we went to visit great grandma and grandpa Bates. Once again, Luke was feeling a little tire and so he wasn't his usual playful self. We had a great time and got to see some old family heirlooms. Our favorites were a two pocketwatches, which still work, that belonged to Luke's great great grandma and grandpa!! SOOOO cool! We topped off our visit with a trip to Sizzler. Yum. We had such a great visit to see our family and are so happy to have them close by.
