A Trip To Granky's World

My Texas cousins have always called my Grandpa Mathews "Granky" and some of the younger ones call his house "Granky's World." My family has always stuck with "Grandpa," but now that we have Nolan, and with so many "grandpa's" around, we've decided it might be time to get on board for clarity's sake ☺.

So this past weekend we went to Las Vegas/Granky's World. It's become an annual trip because Justin's parent's always go to a work conference so it's nice to "kill two birds with one stone" and get to see both sets of parents at the same time!

It was a fun weekend with lots of hanging out. We all went out to BJs together on Saturday night, then everyone came over to my mom and dad's house for Sunday dinner. On Monday we went shopping at the outlets with Aunt Kirsten and Uncle BJ where they spoiled Nolan at Carter's with some cute pjs and onesies. After that we went to dinner with Doug and Pam.

Feeding himself...sort of, on the way to Las Vegas

Nolan loved playing with Granky's cane...

...and his shiny watch.

I think you're doing it wrong Nolan

It's so cute how he always crosses his legs. Even my dad noticed it!

Mmmm, Uncle BJs finger tastes good!

So do water bottles apparently.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but Nolan totally took a few assisted 'steps' while we were there! In fact, I was so surprised when I saw him do it that I shouted "Oh my gosh!!" so loudly that I scared him and he started crying :( He's obviously nowhere near walking (thank heavens) but it was pretty cute to watch.

Love these two!! (with the new little dragon his Gm and Gp Bailey got for him. They tried to call it Cal Jr., but he already has a Cal Jr. this one has been christened "Mr. Dragon." We're super creative around here ☺)
