Nicholas has been thoroughly enjoying an extended weekend with Oma and Opa who generously agreed to take care of him while mom and dad worked. His daycare provider decided to go on vacation! From the start, Nicholas has been spoiled with love and attention - and a few gifts. Oma brought some great new outfits and much appreciated diapers and both Oma and Opa surprised Nicholas with a new bulldozer! You should see Nicholas get around on it! Of course, taking after his daddy, he also had to do an engine check!
Oma and Opa have taken Nicholas for walks, stopping for a swing at the neighborhood parks. They also took him to the Virginia Zoo where everyone fed the giraffes and enjoyed a variety of activities related to horticulture (which was a special event for the zoo). Oma and Ellen made tussie mussies - which is a mostly herbal bouqet of flowers that were really quite lovely. They were wrapped in a doily and colored foil. Other events included an herb sampling tent, an area for blowing bubbles and a primal percussion esemble. We all enjoyed a picnic lunch.
Sunday, we all went to the beach. It was a first for Nicholas who seemed to have a good time. It was super windy as you may be able to see from the included photos. Afterward, Oma and Opa went to the Oceana air show which was celebrating its 50th anniversary. They made it in time to see some "jumpers" and the blue angels performance.
As always, we've enjoyed good company, good outings, wonderful dinners (with two great cooks under one roof!), and good conversation.
Nicholas (and the rest of us, too) sure loves it when Oma and Opa visit!
