Treat time with the grandkids

Harv and I were pleased to be given first chance at babysitting while our son and his wife took in some seminars at church this weekend. So we packed our bags and drove down to Seattle to spend time with our grandkids. Friday night there was just time for a story and a cuddle after supper. But Saturday we had all day to play.

We played in the yard in the morning while B had his nap and

then we were off -

- to Jack in the Box for a cheeseburger and a smoothie.

On our way across the parking lot to the Krispy Kreme, I stopped to admire a Metropolitan car just like the one I learned to drive in. Only ours was black and white. Cute eh?
Ah yes, the Krispy Kreme - not sure it's all it's been hyped up to be but the kids sure enjoyed the treat.

Princess E showed us the BEST way to eat a Chocolate Fling!

Then there were a few minutes to watch the donuts being made. . . . .

. . . before heading to Carceek Park at the ocean.

This is a favourite place to go.

It's got lots to do - a grassy picnic area and playground,

a high bridge over a train track with trains to watch

AND the ocean and rocky beach of course.

Oh the plays you can play with a beach full of rocks.
BenBen was delighted - there were no shortage of rocks to throw
and giggle over.

Natedog had fun trying to predict which waves would lap quietly and which will gleefully splash you.

The sun was so warm that PopPop succumbed to a nap.

We even found a fleeting moment to pose for Nana's brag book.
