Three little boys came to stay with us this past weekend while their Mommy and Daddy were off on the other side of the world on their trip to Paris. I drove up to Carefree to their other Grandparents house first thing friday morning to get my oldest 3 grandsons. We decided to make a stop on our way home to see Papa at his shop.....the following gobs and gobs of photo's are from the fun we had in the 2 hours we were there. First thing Papa did was show them his HUGE VACUUM ( dust collector!) How fun to watch all the wood shavings and sawdust just go right up that vent!!!! time to move on but they could have done that for hours on it's own!
They all decided they wanted to build something...Papa pulled out some wood and they each got to build a box.
Ethan getting ready for some loud noise from the saw! He turned 3 this summer and is Mr. independent and so ready to be a big kid!
Here is Garrett, he turned 5 this summer and informed me he's gotten his kindergarten shots so he's ready for school next year!
Aiden our 2nd grader is 7 and has a mouth full of teeth of every size with some gone, some coming in and some part way up, so cute!
They all got to use the power nailer and nail their box together...
Long post I know but how many 3 year olds get to sit on Papa's work bench and help nail a box! It was a very special time for Papa too!
Look it works to sit on ...
Aiden checking his out to stand on...
Garrett came home and immediately put all kinds of things inside his, all his little animals and special things he'd brought along.
Then even more fun....every little boys dream.....riding on the fork lift!
Making the forks go up and down, Papa found all kinds of things that "just needed" to be moved, so they hauled sheets of wood from one side to the other...
Made the forks go up and down....do you think Garrett is having fun?
Ethan ready for his turn...
Lots of fun moving those levers...
Ethan you did a great job!
Aiden getting his turn, they got to go outside....
and run those forks way up as tall as the building!
They moved Papa's truck tool box....and yep they could have done that all day too!
What fun was that! Fun memories in the making for these little guys!
We left Papa and went on home to see what other things we could do on our fun day! More photos of that to come!
Bode's just having fun cuz he had a bite of everyones, and he got to eat by his cousins!
Here's Chris, Chris and Ken...
And here come "the boys".... they all got light up swords for party favors, yea dollar store! ( I"m just glad they all worked!)
Ken with lots of help blowing out the candles...
what a fun time, birthdays are pretty cool!

Denver Mint - Guam, Northern Marinara Islands, Virgin Islands, Washington Obverse, fifty state obverse
And on a side note the hammer was required as the "tap in place" tool. These folders hold the quarters in very tight so if you are in construction that means you use a hammer !
One holder is for ones struck in the Denver mint and the other has the P for the Pennsylvania mint on them. It seemed to involve a hammer too !!!! :-) Only a few are missing. It is harder for us to find the Pennsylvania mint ones here in the west. He got holders for the new "America the Beautiful" quarters that have started this year, commemorating all the National Parks. I have yet to see one tho but we are gonna keep watching !
For me.....I know it gets serious when I walk thru the room and he's gone from sitting in the recliner to standing up, gotta stand up and get right in front ! Then when he yells, "come see" , you know it's really good, but then you can't talk or stand to close !
The new record of "kills" is 337 tanks, to level 71 ! I even got a picture of his little Mi jumping up and down ! whew ! So not only can he scorch scorpions he is the TANK MASTER !
