Fun with the Two Grandmas

We had Chris' mom and grandma come for a quick visit this past week. They got here last Sunday afternoon and left yesterday morning. Sam was a little confused when kept telling him that grandma and grandma were coming. We had little conversations like this:

Us: Sam who's coming? Grandma and...?
Sam: Grandma and Grandpa!
Us: No, they're coming next week. Grandma and...?
Sam: Zoe!
Us: No, Grandma and...?
Sam: Dave!....Lara!

When they got here, he finally got it. He now calls them Grandma and Other-One-Grandma. We had so much fun with them here. We went down to Pike Market Place on Monday. We ate at a restaurant overlooking the water. I guess it's famous because part of Sleepless in Seattle was filmed there. Sam enjoyed the music, two giant dogs that we met, a sculpture of a pig, and the doughnuts. We left a little too late, however, for his patience to last long enough to allow us to go to the Space Needle or to the aquarium. He gets soooo cranky if he doesn't get his nap! That evening we had a really yummy dinner at a local restaurant overlooking Sam's favorite lake (it's where we always go on our picnics and where we feed the ducks).

Tuesday the two grandmas spent the day in the Tacoma area where Other-One Grandma (Grandma Brannock) grew up. They were able to visit with old friends and attend a memorial service for someone they knew.

We had so much fun together. I don't know when we'll see them next--especially his grandma since she lives in Texas. Thanks for the visit! Anyone else looking for a little vacation is welcome anytime!
