On Memorial Day we drove up to Hannibal, MO to pick up our three precious grandchildren, Nate (6), Eli (4), and Ava (almost 3). We had four days together to play games, read stories, visit some fun places, and enjoy a lot of hugs and kisses. At the Memphis Children's Museum the kids got to send boats down a little river; check out the inside story on the human body; pretend to drive a fire truck, police car, motorcycle, hot rod, and airplane; climb in towers; dance disco; grocery shop with shelves at their level; do a stage performance; make and fly paper airplanes; fl and much more. Below Timm and the kids are boarding a Fed Ex plane at the museum.
Guess who's piloting this flight?? There were a lot of buttons that needed pushing but the plane never left the ground. (I never got to do this when I was a kid.)
Look out Top Gun these two look handsome and ready!
Dr. Ava do you think you can save this one?
The museum was great but playing in wet sand was like being at the beach. They were just getting started when I took this picture, there was some very creative river building yet to come.
The water park area was their favorite for the week. We spent part of three afternoons here. Ava is being very brave.
After a long day of play a story or two from Grandpa top off the day.
Ava loved to carry on conversations on her dazzling pink cell phone. I hope Mom & Dad have enough minutes to meet her needs when she has the real thing. Thank you Ben and Kate for letting us enjoy your children for a few days. We loved every minute of it and can't wait to do it again sometime. They are every bit as adorable as they look.
