Collin can't wait for our next vacation

We're pretty sure Collin is counting down until our next adults-only vacation. Because while we were in Ecuador, he split his time between Grammy and Brownie, Grandma Libia and Lita, and Great Aunt Debbie.

Grammy and Brownie shared some pictures from their weekends with their grandson. His first weekend involved a Saturday morning trip to the Children's Museum, where he visited the stuffed animal vet.

He navigated the toddler roadways and read with Brownie, among other activities.

During the week, he was spoiled by Grandma Libia. He had a cold and she made him chicken soup and rocked him until he fell asleep in the evenings. On my first day back, we went to the grocery store, and as we were pulling into the parking lot, Collin shouted "HEB." So I'm sure his stay with Grandma Libia involved balloons and treats at the supermarket too.

The next weekend, they headed to the zoo -

In the afternoon, Collin played in the park with some new dump trucks. My mom said he pretty much ignored the playground equipment in favor of rocks and trucks - what a boy! He and Rudy had some bonding time on the couch too (while my poor, obnoxious dogs were stuck outside).

Sunday night, Collin met up with a lot of my family at Cafe Express as they transferred him from my parents to the care of Great Aunt Debbie. Here he is with Great Aunt Carla.
Great Aunt Debbie had him Monday and Tuesday, and I can't imagine how many times they read Farley and the Lost Bone, but when we returned home, Collin was quoting many of Debbie's lines from the book. Debbie also had roses and chocolates waiting for us, as we returned home on our 8th anniversary. How insane is that - not only family that loves our child like crazy, but surprises us with anniversary treats. We are so blessed!
