Mission Accomplished

Grandpa and Nana Aalberts came for a visit this weekend. We had a great time with visits to the park on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. We went to "Open Cockpit Day" at the Prairie Aviation Museum, which was great until Owen emerged from the plane and preemptively announced the end of all combat operations...

We also had a great time going to the pool with the whole gang on Saturday afternoon. Owen made countless trips down the water slide, pushed his mom, auntie Pam and grandpa into the water, then was an absolute delight as he made his first safe leaps from the side of the pool into his dad's arms. He is very aware of all of the things going on around him and is willing to try anything he sees other people doing. He duplicated my step from the end of a park slide (which I had to do because my legs were too long to make it to the end), and would jump off the pool's diving board if we would just give him the chance.

New favorites this week are lollipops, more dancing, the call of the squirrel, saying "Way up on top of the mountain" (?), and GF Chicken Siciliano. Yummy!
