Grandpa Bob's Visit

Grandpa Bob came to visit last weekend. Grandma Cindy decided to stay home, she had some work to do and she wanted to give Grandpa some dad and daughter time. While that was very thoughtful we did miss her. Grandpa had not been out since Jack was about 6 weeks old so it was like he was a completely different kid! On Friday afternoon Dustin picked Grandpa up at the airport and then they went to pick Jackson up at school. It was nice for Grandpa to see where Jack spends his days.

That night I told Grandpa I was all worked out and did not want to cook dinner. Grandpa took us out for a delicious Mexican dinner. Jackson has now found his voice and he likes to screech at times. He chose dinner to make a high pitched screeching noise...he was happy but it did get us a few looks from some of the patrons...oh well. The restaurant was noisy and very casual so I didn't worry about it too much. The next morning we went up to Park City to the outlets and Grandpa bought Jackson some stylin' new basketball shorts for the summer.

Later that day Grandpa went with us to the Utah vs TCU basketball game. The game actually was a little on the boring side, the Utes won by 18. Grandpa, Jack and I left a little early because we had to get to the Layton High School wrestling banquet. I told my dad that I had to go and asked him if he would come with me...I think he would have come anywhere with me as long as I had Jack in tow. It was nice, he got to meet some of my wrestlers and their families as well as the coach.

The last day grandpa was here we took Jackson to the Aquarium. Jackson loved looking at all the fish swimming around. There is also a pool to look down and touch the sting rays. While we did not put his hand that deep in the water he did reach into the water and watch the sting rays swim by. All and all I think Grandpa had a great visit...Grandpa is such a good teacher...He and Jackson played basketball, practiced standing and crawling and Grandpa even gave some camera lessons. It was hard for Grandpa to leave, but he is already planning his next trip and this time Grandma Cindy can come visit too!
