But I just couldn't let this day go by without sharing these pictures, too. After all, what's the meaning of GrandMartha's Journal if not to report my adventures being a grandmother?
And last Friday afternoon was an adventure day! Terry and I picked up the boys early from daycare & headed toward the Louisiana Boardwalk for some fun.
The boys clamored for a visit to Bass Pro Shop first of all. Boy Heaven.
First we found a set-up for driving remote control monster trucks.
Then Ben found this display of a gift any boy would be thrilled to open: a truck towing a boat with a shark! Awesomeness!!
There was a Polar Express model train set up. Ben controlled the speed while Buddy & Papa watched.
Neither boy was interested in visiting with Santa. Perhaps they think it's a bit too early. Or maybe they're worried about how to answer Santa's question about their recent behavior as it relates to receiving those toys. Best to rack up a few days of NOT arguing with your brother before seeing the Big Man!
At any rate, this man decided to bring his cat to see Santa
The Boardwalk has a trolley. If you're lucky, it will be running when you visit. On a pretty day, this is the most (FREE!) fun you can have. It also saves you a few steps in getting around down there. Once we got to the far end away from Bass Pro, the trolley was ready to go re-charge at its house. The boys were sad. Every time it stopped to let people on, Will would say "Go Again!!" Here's Ben & me on board.
We arrived at the carousel. This is not free, but it is a lot of fun! Ben chose to ride an alligator. And because it was Veteran's Day, Will chose a very patriotic eagle to ride "Ut...down...Ut....down"
Then it was time to go. The sun was starting to set. Ben's face says it all. Not happy to be leaving the fun!
We'll go again Ben. Get to work on that list for Santa.
(And remember to be extra nice to Will!)
