The Great Papa and Nana Adventure Part 3

SATURDAY 2K RACE
GRACE & ETHAN LEND MORAL SUPPORT TO NANA...
Even while Lady Rohr continues to trash talk
& brag about her running ability...
WHO WILL WIN THIS CONTEST???
MY AGENTS THINK THEY KNOW...
DID THEY EXPECT LADY ROHR
TO ROAR ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
AHEAD OF THEIR OWN GRANDMOTHER??
SAD BUT TRUE...THERE WAS A WINNER
AND A LOSER THIS MORNING.
NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHEN ETHAN CAME IN...
HE WAS SO FAR AHEAD...
BUT GRACE AND HALLEY MADE A GOOD SHOWING.
THEN IT WAS OFF TO THE AMISH MARKET
AND SOME WARM PRETZELS
FOLLOWED BY A BLIZZARD...
GRANDMOTHERS ARE SUCH GOOD NUTRITIONISTS.
A STOP BY THE GOLF COURSE & A RIDE WITH PAPA...
THEN IT WAS ON TO WATCH THE MARYLAND TERPS
BEAT WAKE FOREST IN A GREAT SOCCER GAME.
EVEN ROBBIE AND JAMES JOINED US..
JOANNA WAS JUST BEHIND...MATCHING HATS WITH SAM
WE SAW SOME GREAT FIELD ACTION
THEN GOT TO GREET THE WINNING TEAM
AT THE RAIL...
SAM SHOWED THE KIDS HOW TO "FEAR THE TURTLE!"BEFORE SHOWING THEM HIS APARTMENT...AND THEN IT WAS TIME TO SAY GOOD-BYE..
TOMORROW MORNING THEY LEAVE FOR HOME
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE LORD'S BLESSINGS
WONDERFUL GRANDKIDS & 4 DAYS TO ENJOY THEM.

The Great Papa and Nana Adventure Part 2

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

On our way to see the Atlantic Ocean--

Virginia Beach, Virginia...
a little windy...
chilly...
expansive...
photo worthy...
wavy...
artistic...
even for Ethan...
even Nana and Papa...
are having fun...
Found these beach bums...
near the crabs and octopi...
smiles...
happy feet....
a message to photo text to Minnesota...
And lunch before we leave...
complete with happy face fries...
THEN WE HIT THE ROAD AGAIN FOR HOME---
And Papa's Girls' Soccer Tournament Game....
Thankfully, he had his assistant coach with him...
It was a nail biter...but after 2 overtimes and penalty kicks....
The girls walked away with the second place in the league.
They played so well.

NOW WHAT WAS WAITING FOR US AT HOME????
A headless very dead chipmunk...probably the one that
has been tormenting Becky for so long!!!
Sam found the critter and was making
a grave for it in the trash can when we arrived...
The guys can sure multi-task---while watching baseball on TV
THEN WE WERE ON THE ROAD AGAIN---To D.C.
Supreme Court...
Lincoln Memorial
Capitol with flash...
Capitol without flash...
Reflecting pond without flash...
Reflecting pond with flash...
Honest Abe still sits....
A great day that covered lots of miles
and many smiles...
