The first day we spent it at the pool. We swam, splashed, and he had a great time throwing everything in the pool so we could fetch it. That included goggles, flip flops, shoes and sunglasses. We drew the line when he tried to throw his beloved cowboy boots in the water.
"Ronan, No! The water will ruin your boots. Put them back in the your bag."
He finally realized that we were serious about the danger of water for his boots so he did put them away as we finished our swim.
Then we had lunch at Sonic and he had a great time eating a hot dog. (hot dog in one hand, bun in the other). A police officer came to our area to eat lunch so Ronan struck up a conversation with him. He also scored some tater tots from the officer. He was so successful with meeting the police officer that he starting yelling "Hi!" to everyone in the cars that pulled into the drive in. He did not understand why people were not trying to be as friendly as he is.
We also spent one evening eating watermelon on the porch. My husband and I had stopped by a road side vegetable stand and bought some produce including a beautiful watermelon. Ronan loves watermelon! We cut come pieces and ate them on the front porch. At the end of the evening all of us were covered in watermelon juice. It was delicious and fun.
Ronan ate his watermelon and then finished mine and his mother's. He was covered in juice and sticky from head to toe!
Grandchildren are so wonderful. I have joked that one thing that makes them wonderful is that you can give them back to their parents. This past weekend during our visit I realized that the other thing that makes them wonderful is that with us he can explore and do things which his parents may not allow. Is that not what makes grandparents wonderful also?
