We came home from the airport and he instantly wanted to show her all his cars and toys and balls in his room. He quickly convinced her to join him in a game of basketball! They would shoot at the same time and hopefully one of them would make it!
He showed her where her bed was and where the shower was. Every morning he'd bring her to the shower and tell her "You can use Kolton's towel. That's fine." He then would sit outside the door waiting for her to come out of the shower so she could play with him again! He followed her around constantly!
The next day he snuck in to her suitcase while she was showering and found a couple presents she brought for him. When she got out of the shower he ran in to her room and told her to look in her suitcase because he found something cool. It was funny!
One of the things she brought was some punch balls. They had fun playing with those together. She constantly had to keep blowing them up because the plug would come undone and they'd quickly deflate. He thought it was funny! ;)
Thursday morning we went to the splash pad so that hopefully it wouldn't be too hot. Wrong! It was hot and all the seats in the shade were taken! Soon, some people left, though and we were able to sit comfortably (after my mom got roped in to a 30 minute conversation with these two ladies telling her all about Oklahoma!).
Kolton loved being chased by Grandma all through the splash pad. He kept trying to get her wet...
And finally did with a big wet hug!
Then Daddy surprised us and came to the splash pad too. He too chased Kolton around...
And held him in all the water. :)
Friday night we went swimming with Jeff and Vanessa and their boys so that Grandma could see Kolton's sweet swimming moves. He showed her his spinning jump, his running jump, spinning in the water, swimming on his back, swimming under water (that was new that night--he'd hold his breath and swim with his face in the water) and many other tricks. His favorite of the night was me getting on Brady's shoulders and Kolton on mine and then we'd all fall down. :)
We also did a big train which was fun! All the boys were yelling as passionately as they could "chugga chugga! chugga chugga! choo choo!" I'm sure all the neighbors loved it! ;)
The other present she brought for Kolton was a Toy Story 3 matching game. He loved it! They played it over and over. His favorite to find was this little monster toy that is in Toy Story 3.
On Monday we went to Jumpzone! Kolton was so excited! We had told him on Saturday that we were going on Monday and so he kept telling us that after church day we were going to Jumpzone. And then Sunday night and Monday morning he kept saying that after we woke up, ate breakfast, took a shower and got dressed we were going to Jumpzone. He sure does like to repeat things over and over and over! ;)
Grandma let him play with the arcade games. He loved riding the horse and actually got to do it twice!!
That afternoon we went to the library to take back his old book and get some new ones. We were there for about an hour as he played with the toys and on the computer. He got really good towards the end really controlling the mouse smoothly. He was proud of himself. We also came home with 7 new books and 3 movies. In less than an hour after getting home Grandma had read all the books at least 2 times, some 3 times!
That night Grandma took us to Braums to get some ice cream! Kolton decided to try the cookies and cream ice cream! Yum!
Sharing ice cream...
Tuesday we went to go see Toy Story 3. We had to drive to Cinemark Tinseltown Theater up near the zoo because none of the theaters around us had it not in 3D and I was afraid Kolton wouldn't like wearing the glasses the whole time. I was impressed with the theater for only being $3 something a person. There were only a few other people in the theater so that was nice too!
Kolton watched the entire movie from start to finish! He got bored during the 20 minute previews but once the movie started he was in love! ;) He chowed down on popcorn and skittles too throughout the movie.
That night Grandma took us to McDonalds--Kolton's favorite place to eat! He even got up in the tube things and played! He never goes up there--he gets freaked out--but he did this time and loved it! He kept getting lost on his way to the blue slide, though, so we kept having to ask a little girl there to show him how to get there. I'm not kidding when I say he got lost at least 10 times! It was hilarious!
One thing that him and Grandma did while she was here was play cars! And play a lot!! If she wasn't reading to him or watching George, or blowing bubbles, or playing a game (get the picture!?), they were playing cars!
They also did lots of snuggling!
Sunday after church while dinner was cooking they sat down to read a book. He had laid his head down so Grandma asked if he was tired and he said no and then 10 seconds later he was out!
He liked watching all the videos she took of him. ;) This one is of him trying to put his shirt on. As you can see he never really did get it one correctly!
We had so much fun with Grandma! He wouldn't say good-bye to her when we dropped her off at the airport he was so upset to see her go. He just kept saying that he wanted to go on the airplane and go to Utah with Grandma. Luckily we get to go in October!! When we came home he went and got on her bed and said "I want Grandma be here." It was so cute! We are so glad she was able to come and spend a week with us! Kolton loved having a buddy to play with and do lots of fun things with! Thanks Grandma!
