Tuesday, May 03, 2011

I had a bad day today aches and shooting pains and depressed so I decided I should at least go for a drive. That didn't take too much physically.

I drove down Pioneer Crossing to I-15. I decided to go north. I hadn’t gotten too far when the thought came to me that I should go to Niki’s and play with Gavin and Alexa.

I was taking a chance. I didn’t know if they would be home and I didn’t call first.

It worked out well. They were home and they had three friends over. Avery next door was playing with Alexa and her brother and another little, little kid were playing with Gavin. I asked the little one, who was wearing a blue cape what his name was. He said it was Superman.

Looking down on Avery from upstairs I thought she was Alexa. They look a lot alike.

We played and wrestled for a while then it was time for Alexa and Avery to get dressed for soccer practice. Avery’s mother came over to retrieve her. She was carrying a little one in her arm.

Superman’s older brother came and got him when I hadn’t been there long.

It's amazing what some quality time spent with grandchildren can do. Why didn't I think of it earlier?

I wish they didn't live so far away.
