Lolo & Lola came during the peak of the kids' activities - which actually worked out so they could take naps to recover from their jet lag. Tori was still at drama camp (2 camps - 2 weeks each) but we were lucky to see her for a day and a half in between the two. PJ still went to Lego camp - this week was called "Junkyard Challenge" and they had teams to try and build machines and various tasks.
The boys brought Lolo with them to their martial arts class - Lolo was amused to see Jake in action for the first time and was impressed by how far PJ has come.
Despite the freezing temperatures in the morning, Lolo went to PJ's swim team practice and saw him swim no less than 16 laps.
Lolo even got to see Jake's swim lesson where he proudly jumped off the diving board for him.
After Jake's soccer class, my parents were beginning to wonder if it ever warmed up in Benicia during the summer. I answered "yes, but not until after 1 pm."
PJ really enjoyed sharing Grandma Morgan's card game, Liverpool, with Lolo and conned various relatives that visited us into playing against him - everyone put a $1 in the pot and the winner took home the pot.
Except PJ had a side bet with Lolo - if he beat Lolo, he got $20 and if Lolo beat him, he got . . . nothing?! Luckily, my dad didn't let him win . . . too often. PJ was thrilled - when all was said and done, he collected a $2 bill, a half dollar and a $1 coin to add to his collection. No wonder we couldn't get him to stop playing to go to bed at night!
I think all of this activity managed to put my parents' sleep patterns back on track - no more jet lag for them!
