Matt and Korissa's Adoption Blog!: Conner's week with Grandma and Grandpa!

So my (Korissa's) family has a tradition, dating back to when my siblings and I were little, of going over to our grandparent's house each summer for a whole week all by ourselves with no parents or other siblings allowed! An entire week of nothing but getting spoiled rotten by grandma and grandpa... pretty much every child's dream :) Well, since Conner was four years old this summer, he was old enough to carry on the tradition and spend his first of many summer weeks with grandma and grandpa! Yay!! He has been looking forward to it for months and was so excited to go! While he is usually a fairly clingy little boy and doesn't like to leave mommy and daddy, when it was time to go with grandma and grandpa, he couldn't get out of the house fast enough! He had his suitecase packed well in advance and had been counting down the days until they would come pick him up. He took off and never looked back! :) Needless to say, he had the time of his life! He got to stay up as late as he wanted, do whatever he wanted, and grandma and grandpa catered to his every whim. What more could a little boy want? He got to go to the ocean, see lots of animals at a place called Wildlife Safari, go to McDonalds for lunch, play in the sprinklers, go to parks, stay up every night watching Scooby Doo, go to bouncy houses, help water the garden, play with lots of new toys, build dinosaurs, feed the ducks, ride on trains, grab toys out of a "magic bag", and much much more. He had so much fun that we only got to talk to him a few times over the week. The other times he said was far too busy to talk to us :) When we picked him up earlier today, it only took him about 5 minutes to start crying because he missed grandma and grandpa. Even the offer to talk to them over Skype so he could see them didn't suffice. He continue to cry saying "but I want to play with them.... I just love them so much!" I guess you could say he had a good time :) Anyway, while these are only a few of the many pictures taken of their fun activities, they still give you an idea of some of the many activities they were able to do! I think it's safe to say he's already looking forward to next summer!
