The Grand-Kids Visit Kamloops

Last weekend we got to visit with all our grand-kids; it was great.

Zachary was here with Jeff and Lindsay and their friends Mark and Jill from Calgary, so we had a pretty full and busy house for the weekend. Mark was competing in the Canadian National Disc Golf Championships that were held at the Rose Hill Course and in Logan Lake. Jeff was supposed to be competing however he injured his shoulder earlier in the week mountain biking and had to drop out so his shoulder can heal properly. He needs a strong throwing arm as he is headed to the Canadian National Ultimate Frisbee Championships in Ottawa in August; the team he is on is competing to attend the World Championships.

Right now everything Zachary grabs onto goes into his mouth; he is teething again.

Also, Jeff has been working at getting Zachary to use his thumb and forefinger to pick up Cheerios; it will help develop his fine motor skills. By the end of the weekend he was doing pretty well and actually got a few Cheerios into his mouth.

While here Zachary did his very first project with Namma and Pops. It was making stepping stones for the garden. Zachary was very helpful and kept his foot very straight and wiggled his toes in the cement so we could capture a perfect mould of his foot. After that Jeff and Namma added a few colored pieces of rounded glass to make them look at little fancier. Once the cement started to set we added Zachary’s name and the date.

On Saturday, Sage and Conrad along with Kevin and Tamara were visiting GGMa and GGPa in Westsyde. So Brenda, Jeff, Zachary and I headed out to see them. It was great to get the three cousins together.

Zachary is modeling the new sweater that GGMa had just finish knitting for him; Zachary really loves his new sweater. GGMa certainly looks happy and contented to be holding Zachary?

Tamara with the cousins……….. cute eh!

Finally on Sunday afternoon Zachary and I got a chance to sit down and watch the US Open Golf Championship……………. Zachary really loves golf!
