Hunter and Colton

A couple of weekends ago we got to keep Hunter and Colton for the weekend. A friend of Odie's has a race car and invited us to watch him race. On the way we stopped to eat at the Boiling Pot in El Campo. The boys fed the ducks, turtles, and fish while we waited for our dinner. The atmosphere was wonderful, but the food left a lot to be desired this trip.

We carried the boys to the race track over in Edna. They got to sit in the race car and have their picture made. Just before the race was to start, there was a down pour of rain. We raced to the car and waited it out. The cars had to go around the track to dry it out. The boys stood by the fence, and Odie's friend would give a thumbs up to the boys every time he rounded the track.

An elderly gentlemen sat in a lawn chair at the end of the bench next to me. He sponsors students to A&M and was having the best time getting Colton to make the A&M sign. He kept saying he was going to have to sent up the funds for Colton's college, but hmmmm he never did get his information. The young woman with him said he puts students through A&M yearly. Oh well, we can dream can't we. I enjoyed watching Colton make an old man laugh.

When the races started, Colton would stand there waving the cars around the track saying, "Go car go. Go car go!" Since the races were over two hours late starting, the night seemed to stretch on. I finally took the boys to car with the AC while Odie tried to hang with the races to see his friend race.

In the car, I told the boys they were going to take a bath with the wet wipes. They were hilarious as they bathed with the wet wipes and put their pj's on. Hunter took a better bath with his wet wipes than he does in the shower. He washed behind his ears and between his toes.

Before we knew it, the weekend ended; and we had to return them to Becca and Clint following a breakfast of pancakes and bacon at the IHOP. Hunter and I did manage to get a couple of games of memory in before he headed home, though.

Since they live so far away, it will be even more difficult to see them; BECAUSE my Hunter starts kindergarten this year. I have only been a Grammy for less than six years, but it is hard to imagine just how dull my life was before grandkids!
