Home Sweet Home

There is nothing like visiting home. And with Mat being so busy in the month of September, my parents were kind enough to let Cam and I crash at their place for almost 3 weeks. It was a blast!  Here are a few of the things that we did: 

Grandpa tried to take Cam on a ride on the 4-Wheeler, but Cam wasn't so sure. I'm pretty sure he clung to him, until he felt like he could do no more, then asked to get off, pretty frightened by the whole experience. Being his mother, I thought, "Oh, he'll be fine if he does it with me." Ha ha... I was wrong. Check out this face: 
Needless to say, we didn't try this more than once. 

We watched a lot of Bubble Guppies while there. (What baby wouldn't with a TV 4 times their size...)
My Mom and Dad quickly realized that if they were to get on Cam's good side (not like the kid has a bad side) that all they needed to do was turn on Bubble Guppies, and get Cam a bottle of milk. Instant cuddle time...with grandma...
...grandpa...
...and even in the booster.
My sisters both live near my parents, so we spent a lot of time with cousins, too. 
Cam felt like a celebrity while we were there. Even the boy cousins thought he was the cat's pajamas. 
We spent a lot of quality time teaching grandma how to use the computer...
and showing her all of the coolest youtube videos (like sesame street, of course!)
And in return, Grandma taught us how to cook. Apparently, no matter your gender, it is important that you wear a blue frilly apron while cooking... don't tell daddy...
We went to a lot of sporting events of my nieces and nephews, one of which we went to Moses Lake, WA to see. Cam got to know his cousins there, and even took a liking to Uncle Shawn.  Then again, he cheated and used Bubble Guppies...
We hid in the garbage closet...
Went swimming...
and visited the cabin...
...where we filled a bucket (and our diaper) with sand.
Near the end of the trip we even ran a 5k together! 
4 of the older cousins even got into the spirit, ran with us, and did awesome, placing in their age groups!
Cam had a blast the whole time, from playing in the backyard...
To just hangin' with the cousins...
Thanks again for letting us visit, Grandpa and Grandma! We love you!
