Nana Carol and Grandpa Norm

The weekend after Grandma and Granddaddy came to visit, Nana Carol and Grandpa Norm came to visit from Indiana. They were here from Friday, August 29 to Wednesday, Sept. 3. We had a third very nice weekend, and were so glad to have them here!

Saturday we went to the Salisbury Zoo. This was the first we had been there, and the boys really enjoyed it.

Sunday night we went to Sonic so the boys could play on the playground there. Norm and Carol got to see how the boys like to come out of their seats and "drive" up the driveway.
This is an activity that all depends on a driver's tolerance. Gabe's traditional space is in the middle front.

Monday after lunch Norm, Tim, and Gabe went to visit Johnny Mills' farm. Norm took along my Nikon on that visit, so you can thank him for this picture.
Heh heh.

Monday evening, we set off for the Boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach. This involved rides at Funland,

Can you tell that Israel LOOOOOVED the merry-go-round? He crowed and screeched with absolute glee.
He also loved the boats, and took two rides on them, steering with great busyness the entire time. :) Gabe was not too sure about the boats, and clamored to be taken out when he was put in. He, however, thoroughly enjoyed the shooting game.
We finished up with the Helicopter Ride.

Then we went for a walk on the beach.
Gabe ADORED the water. He and Tim ran in and out of it, getting thoroughly soaked and dirty in the process. Israel wasn't very interested in getting all that close. Grandpa's shoulders were just fine for him.Daddy and Son's footprints in the sand.
They washed up,
and then we went to track down some Grotto's Pizza.
Cutie patootie. He loves to "help" snap fingers.
Here Nana Carol patiently plays dominoes with Gabriel. She is a patient teacher at heart! I was working in the kitchen listening to her patiently explaining and helping Gabe. He really liked it.

Gabe got a radio/CD player to play 4 new Bible CD's on. He also really liked those, and knows how to work it himself.

Norm was checking out my Nikon while he was here to see if he wants to get a digital Nikon, so we got some good pictures of the Miller family in their natural habitat.

The boys, busily chasing geese across the sky.

This really is the new activity of late, as lots of geese fly overhead. Tim was racing across the yard with them one evening, confusing the neighbor, who thought they were chasing a dog. Nope, just geese in the sky.

Thanks for all your help, Norm and Carol, while you were here! We really enjoyed your visit!
