The boys loved Ganma & Ganpa's bath tub. It was much bigger then ours and they had so much more room to play. After a bath, Sebastien went running down the hallway as naked as you can get, jumped on our bed and hid under Troy's shirt. It was too funny and so cute.
The boys also had tons of fun playing with Aunt Megan's dogs. I cannot remember the dogs name but she was very patient with the kids. Sebastien was a little hesitant about sitting on her but after he saw his cousin Wyatt do it, he wanted a turn. I was pretty impressed that Troy could get both the dog and Sebastien to look at the camera.
Another favorite was the swing set. Every time Manti got in the baby swing he would start to fall asleep. Maybe I should look into installing something like that in the house. :) They loved going really high and trying to touch feet. Sebastien even figured out how to swing all by himself and only fell off the swing once (the whole time we were there).
One of the days Uncle Brent, Gage and Malcolm were there, they decided to make a ramp off the back of Grandpa's old truck. This was something we did when we were growing up so it was fun to see how excited the boys got. Gage and Malcolm were not afraid one bit to ride the bikes down the ramp and onto the grass. Sebastien was content with running down, I think he did more of that then riding.
We always enjoy the time we get to spend with Grandma & Grandpa GG. They have such great stories to tell and love spending time with the boys. One thing we do quite a bit with them is meet at the mall for lunch. We are lucky enough to meet not only with them but cousins, aunts and uncles and friends. It is great catching up with everyone and since we only get down there once a year, we have to take advantage of every opportunity. It was so cute to see Sebastien walking with Grandma GG to get a treat. Both he and Manti get so spoiled by them every time we are there.
At night after the boys went to bed, we would have bowling competitions on the Wii with Ganma & Ganpa Egnew. Troy and I could not help but laugh at the fact that my parents are Wii bowling PROS! I lost every time we played and I think Troy did too. It is a little depressing when two old folks can whip you so much. We had so many great laughs and it was a great way to wind down after the day. Dad, I will NEVER forget the tennis. I think we all about wet our pants when you played. Great job on the fitness test though!
The last Sunday we were there, Paul and his family came over for dinner and to hang out. I think it is becoming a tradition on Sunday nights to either make carmel corn or roast marshmallows. We were not opposed to either one so I think we did both. Uncle Paul and Troy were very good about getting the fire started and preparing the coals for roasting 'mallows. Manti does NOT like them but he did enjoy the crackers and chocolate. Sebastien would help Troy roast and sneak a couple 'mallows in between. It was a fun night talking with Uncle Paul and spending time with his girls'.
Our final evening in Arizona we met up with Ganpa Cahoon, Aunt Crystal & kids and Aunt Megan & kids for some yummy custard. The timing was poor due to the fact it was DINNER time but who doesn't like ice cream for dinner? The boys loved spending the last few hours with their Ganpa, aunts and cousins. The ice cream was just an added bonus. It took 3 or 4 attempts, but Troy was successful in getting everyone to look at the camera for a final picture.
Thank you to all of our family and friends who took time to meet with us and make our trip so exciting. Sebastien still talks about it and is always asking when we are going back. We love you all and look forward to the next trip! (Not sure when that will be.)
