but wait ... there's more!!!!! (a lot)

he kayaks, he surfs, he paddle boards and .... YES, he skates like a demon!

Yesterday, we were out for nearly 3 hours (sunshine & water) and yet, as soon as he finished his peanut butter, no jelly, just honey, sandwich without the crunchy edges .... he buckled up his skates and spent an hour & a half going, going, jumping, and going some more!!
I thought for sure that he would pass out within minutes of sitting on my lap that evening, but he lasted almost an entire movie! (although, don't tell him I know ... but sometimes ... he pretends to be asleep, so he will get carried. He loves that part & he's very good at faking it.) TODAY- he & the Captain spent another 3+ hours in & out of the water and when he returned his agenda was to eat, shower & return to the asphalt! He skateboarded a bit, but the in-lines were far faster and he apparently had the need for speed!
This time around, it was easier to pull him from his imaginary racetrack .... cuz daddy's hugs were an incentive when he pulled up our street!!

There is something about a little boy hugging his daddy that I find a total comfort. (and even more so when it happens as adults!!!)
Anthony's vist was full & active and at the end of our week, we had activities left unclaimed. THAT'S how fast the time went for us.
Thank you Anthony, for spending time with gramma & grampa .... and making us feel young again (and old too)
