Friday Morning Fun With Mason Wears Us Both Out

We spent most of Friday morning down in Victoria with our grandson Mason and that pretty much wore us out for the rest of the day!  Our little man is full of energy, loves to play and never wants to stop. He is turning into a real “little boy”!

Did you come to play?

It was a good morning to visit as we were getting some much needed rain so any long hiking plans were not on the table. Our grass has started greening up again and growing so at least I got out of cutting the lawn for another day. That’ll be a job for this coming weekend and I expect right through the month of October.

Hey Grandpa – Grammy is pretty funny!!

Grammy was the big entertainment for Mason on Friday as she called on her Kindergarten and Grade 1 teaching experience to amuse Mason by putting on one of his tunnel toys on. He thought that was pretty funny. Mason loves to crawl through these tunnels but he thought the idea of his Grammy wearing one was even better. He sure doesn’t need electronic toys when his Grammy’s over to play.

It’s amazing how a couple of hours on a floor playing around with a little guy like Mason can end up giving an old guy like me so many aches and pains. It’s sure hard on the knees, elbows and back!  It was all worth it though as Mason had a great time playing and is at the stage now where he wants to climb up and over me all the time – he thinks that’s great fun – and it is!

Eventually, we needed a coffee break so we loaded Mason into his stroller and rolled him a few blocks down to a local Starbucks.

I thought it would be a good time for Mason to sample one of Starbuck’s Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. I bought one to share with him.

He must have been hungry because I gave him half a muffin and he really dug into it and ate with gusto.

We can always tell when Mason has had enough to eat because anything left on his tray is definitely going to be thrown on the floor! I guess that’s just his way of cleaning up afterwards but we had to move pretty quick to avoid leaving a terrible mess.

Back home, Mason got a real treat as he got to push the elevator buttons that light up – he sure loves buttons, switches and dials of any kind. When we got to his floor Mason stepped out, turned left instead of right and was off and running down the hall.. Another chase, but we caught him and soon had him safely back inside. It was quite a morning for us but we sure enjoyed it – and the long rest back at home!

Thanks for visiting!
