Hanging out with Grammy and Pops

Grammy and Pops came to visit last weekend and Caleb was so excited! They brought him some fun new surprises, but they also brought him the horse they got him at Christmas time that we couldn't fit in the car on the way home. He has definitely enjoyed reuniting with his horse! We also did some fun sightseeing while they were in town. Check out the pics below!

This was actually a present for Caleb from Val's Aunt Sue and Uncle Roge. They are stacking blocks and he cannot get enough of them now. He was learning how to stack them here with Pops.


Then he got a special dog, "Li'l Snoopy" from Grammy and Pops.



On the second day they were here, we spent the day checking out York and Kittery, Maine. In York, we drove around the coast area and saw the beautiful beaches, and then drove out to the Nubble Lighthouse. It was a gorgeous day, and seeing the beaches made me super excited for the summer!

Here are a couple of views of the lighthouse. It is actually only accessible by sea craft, the picture with Pops below is the closest people can get. After that, we went to the outlets in Kittery (which is what Kittery is known for) and had a good time shopping.




On the last day of their visit, we went into Boston. Before we left, Grammy and Caleb played for a bit on his horse and with his talking Elmo below (another gift from Aunt Sue and Uncle Roge).

Then, Jason and Pops went to the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in the morning. Pop's favorite car was the yellow ferrari, and Jason's favorite was the formula 1 racing car (driven by Michael Shumacher). That's about all I know about it, so I'll just let you all enjoy the pics.






Grammy, Val and Caleb then met up with the guys for lunch, and then we all went to the Sam Adams Museum in Boston. Here are the boys walking to the entrance.


Finally, one last good-bye picture before Grammy and Pops had to leave (they left right after the tour...don't worry...Grammy started out driving since Pops sampled some Sam Adams at the end)! :)

What a great visit it was!
