We LOVE when Grandpa comes to visit

Grandpa came to visit for a couple days and we LOVED having him here. Not only did Gage have a constant buddy to play with, but while Gage was napping, my dad worked on some long needed house repairs! I am already trying to convince him that he needs another vacation back here! : )  Gage immediately took to Grandpa Hill and you couldn’t find one without the other close by. The two things my dad wanted most was time with Gage and Kopp's---he got both!! I had planned a trip to fly back to Utah with Gage for a few weeks, so on the flight to Utah, my dad flew back with us. It was WONDERFUL having someone to tag team with in regards to Gage. I flew back to Milwaukee solo and Gage made it one LONG airplane trip back. Luckil,y there was an extremely, shall we say, “energetic” two year old in the row across from us that made Gage look like an angel. The two year old took the focus off Gage, but I was still twisting, turning and moving with him. I gave him toy after toy, wagon wheel after wagon wheel; anything to try and appease him. Gage turned most of those activities down for a coveted chance to stand on my lap, grab the chair in front of him and bounce and shake. In his mind that was the esteemed activity. I am pretty sure the person in front of us will think twice before flying again!
 These two pictures were taken immediately after my dad arrived to our house. No posing for the camera, just two happy guys!


 The daily schedule went a little something like this:
Play Time
 Lunch Time
 House Repair Time while Gage napped
 Dinner Time

Play Time Again
 
And of course a ball game just before bed time

 Our flight from Denver to Salt Lake was delayed. My dad walked and walked with Gage while I got to sit and relax. I am trying to convince Rob that we should invest in a constant travel companion!
