pops comes to town

This past weekend Brents dad came for a visit. Pops as Brent and now Colin call him. Colin immediately gave him his blankie to play with - and that is a huge honor. Colin and his Ba-pa play with his blankie all the time and play chase so he wanted to do that with this grandpa. This past weekend was the 50th airshow at oceanna and while we didn't go to the exact air show we went down to the boardwalk for a mini show that they had Saturday night. They had some planes fly over and one let off fireworks which was really cool. Then they had parachuter's jump from the airplanes and land on the beach (right in front of us - we were standing in a really good spot) Colin loved the fact that they GUMPED! (jumped) It was really amazing how they did it. They had a band playing afterwards and Colin danced and then played on the playground that they had on the beach. ON Sunday we went to the beach after church. We've been doing that the past few weekends as the church we've been going to is about 5 minutes away. Its on the Chesapeake bay so the waves are small and easy for Colin to jump. People can also bring their dogs onto this beach which Colin loves. Here he is - our baywatch kid, running in the surf.... and don't worry. He isn't always speedo boy. We put his swim suit on and it was too small so he took it off as soon as we got there. Good thing he was wearing swimmers. He and I went yesterday and bought a new Thomas the train swim suit that he insisted on wearing in the bath last night so I think next Sunday he'll be fully clothed.
And last but not least the Redskins won this weekend! Good game for all. Pops stayed to watch the game and left Monday morning. While Colin didn't watch the whole thing he ran around singing "hail to the redskins" or "nen nens" (redskins)

We also picked up Colin's new bed, dresser, chest, desk and nightstand. Martha was redecorating her son's room and gave us all this great furniture. Pictures of his big boy bed to come!
