Hank's Week of Nonstop Fun

Hank had the time of his life last week. I guess he doesn't need me as much as I thought. He was too busy having fun to miss me. This picture is so precious. I think Grandpa Griff and Hank really bonded this past week at "Toon Town Camp"

This is the official Toon Town Headquarters. They played until one in the morning one night! Notice the three computers, they are serious about this game.

Hank got to visit Grandpa's work at Eagle Air Med

This is Hank with Karen's Grandson Peyton. They had a blast together.

Hank's and his new buddy Lincoln, also one of Karen's grandkids, really bonded last week.

Hank and all his Blanding buddies buying candy...

eating ice cream...

and 4-wheeling (notice Hank is the only one with a helmet).

I drove down on Friday and I was so excited to see my buddy, too bad he wasn't as excited to see me, but oh well. We stopped in Moab on our way home to watch Jenni run in her first 1/2 marathon. Hank insisted on making a sign for Kunz.

He was such a great traveler. He really is one of the most patient kids I know. He got that trait from Randy. Good thing Grandma Jeri came prepared with cookies and licorice.

Kunz finished the race and I'm so proud of her! I know how hard that is, and it is a huge accomplishment. However, it didn't make me want to come out of retirement.

I told Hank Grandpa Curt wanted to take him hunting when we got home, but if he was too tired he didn't have to go. He assured me he wanted to go and his two hour nap in the car refreshed him. We got home at 6:30 p.m. and he left with Randy and my dad at 7:00 p.m. for the duck club. Max was pissed to say the least. He had his brother home for a minute and then gone again.

He was in great spirits despite all the traveling. He loved that Duke got to ride shot gun.

Ready to go Grandpa!!

He won't take this hat off.

Hank and Grandpa Curt

This picture makes me cry. I can't stand how adorable it is.

This picture says it all. Could there be a happier 4 year old? He is so lucky to have such amazing grandpas in his life. I am so proud of what a good kid Hank is. He acts so much older and independent. I'm slowly becoming not as needed. Good thing Max needs me every second of the day! It's so good to have him home and safe. Thanks again to everyone who took care of my baby last week.

Sounds like a blast for Hank. Glad you have him back though. I miss my Dad and all the stuff he did with the grandkids. Those memories are priceless.
