When a 3 year old decides he needs adventure, well, I say let him have at it.  So, the other night we had the pleasure of his company, along with all his other cousins (6 total kids ranging in age from 3 to 10).  He was the only one not allowed to spend the night at Grandma and Grandpa’s, but he didn’t have to leave until late.  So, grandpa watched him play outside by himself.

First, he was allowed to swim in the plastic pool and run through the sprinkler if he wanted.  He didn’t have his swim suit, so grandpa rigged him up with a pair of his undershorts and wrapped a rubber band around the back side to help hold them up.  He had a blast in the water all by himself.

Next he wanted to dry off and put his clothes on and be with the other kids.  That got boring for him and so outside to be with grandpa once again.  Grandpa will let him do anything that does not seem too dangerous and stays close enough to “save” him should the near accident become apparent.  Grandpa does not consider a fall from two feet to be a serious event.  And so, inside the portable dog kennel he went.

This is what transpired from that:

The Chase Adventure

And after all that work, he needed to show grandpa just how clever he was, “Look at me grandpa”!

Well, that much entertainment deserved a treat and so he was allowed to sit up on his high adventure seat and have a well deserved ice cream cone.  Thanks Grandma!  And so ended the perfect day for him.  Swimming, ice cream and adventure all over at grandma and grandpa’s.
