Visiting Nana!

We planned a trip to visit Nana and it was full of surprises. Grandma Beth, Aunt Lynn, Olivia, Ava, and Grandma Barb all made the trip too. Nana had no idea any of us were coming. Grandma Barb even surprised Aunt Diane by showing up. Grandma Barb had no idea Cameron and I were coming...so there were lots of secrets we were all trying to keep.

Cameron did great on the plane, though at times was a bit restless. He's now at the age where he really gets the concept of being on an airplane (and loves them) so during take off & landing he was glued to the window watching. Our flight was a little delayed leaving so we didn't get in until midnight. Mom & Aunt Diane had to make an excuse they were running to the store at 11:30 PM so they could come pick us up.

Cameron definitely played shy for a while. He wasn't sure what to think of the girls. We all had a slumber party at Nana's.

Ava thought Cameron (or Cay-Cay as she calls him) was a baby. She was trying to feed him breakfast.

Cameron was surprised with some early birthday presents. He got lots of clothes, some dinosaurs, a piggy bank that counts your money (that was a hit), and other toys.

Cameron LOVED Ava's shoes! It all started because Ava walked outside and Lynn grabbed Cameron's shoes since they were right there. Ava thought it was great she was wearing Cay-Cay's shoes...so Cameron put on Ava's. After that he kept taking off his own shoes and trying to put hers on. Of course they had pretty colored flowers all over them.

We played outside a little bit (until the bugs ate us alive). They look like a fun bunch huh. :-)

Best buddies! They had their moments of not sharing, but overall they had a great time playing together.

It was Aunt Diane's birthday while we were there so had cake & ice cream.

Uncle Chris & Aunt Rhonda were also there the last couple of days.

Lynn and I thought it would be great to take the kids to have pictures done together. They aren't together often and we found a place that prints them same day. It was quite the ordeal!! Cameron cried the entire time. Ava was completely defiant and would not do anything she was told to do. We were so frustrated, but when they pulled up the final picture we just laughed hysterically...it was a completely captured each of their personalities for the day.

The highlight of the picture trip for them was playing with the blocks. Even Aunt Diane joined in.
