Weekend at Nana & Max's

Well, we had a GREAT weekend at Nana’s and Max’s house and it was wonderful connecting up with the kids again. Fortunately they remembered who we were so that wasn’t much of a problem!

We got to see some of what they all did for the last couple of weeks with the most exciting part being the fishing trip where Desirae actually caught a fish. She actually reeled it in herself and even had a hand in the cleaning of it, which I was I bit surprised to hear. Devin’s luck was not with him and didn’t catch a fish that day.

They both spend a bit of time in the kiddy pool and got a little tan. I guess Devin had a bit of an issue with changing color and declared that he wanted to be “white, bright white”. Not sure where that came from but I am sure it had to be pretty funny to hear when he was saying it.

Another event was video games! Devin and Desirae both are pretty good at the games they were playing and provided us with a display of their newfound skills. It was really neat seeing Desirae actually playing a game and doing the different obstacles. We are going to have to try and find some better games from her to play here, or we are going to have to just pick up a Play Station since they have a lot of good games on that platform.

Nana and Max also gave up their bed for Denise and her 6-month pregnant body! Boy did I benefit from that one! We had not really thought about it before they mentioned it, but I think they definitely had that one pegged. It wouldn’t really have been a good thing for her to sleep on an air mattress or the couch for that matter. So we both, especially Denise, appreciated that gesture.

At one pit stop Desirae noticed this fabricated dinosaur and wanted to go check it out. At first I didn’t know what she was talking about but when she finally pointed me in the right direction I grabbed the camera and we headed over there. It was on the other side of the filling station/bathroom stop and it was pretty neat. I guess someone just made it and posted it there as art or something. She thought it was really cool and she wanted to touch the darn thing.

The only real bad thing about the weekend was the darn heat. Especially on Sunday when we left! The temperature reached 113 degrees, as displayed on my car. I just couldn’t believe just how hot it really was. At one point when we stopped and were getting back in the car the heat from the payment and the heat on the car was just unbearable. Fortunately the A/C in the car works VERY well so we were able to keep it around 70 otherwise I think we would have just died!
