Oma's Here! Day 2

Day 2 with mom was fun, full and active!  The day started drizzly (slightly unexpected), but we made the best of it, and did a mother/daughter/grandkid tradition of walking in the state park, well riding in the state park....well walking/riding/dragging bikes in the state park. In any case, the whole thing is a tradition! LOL. 

So we got our steps in in the morning, and we also got our steps in in the afternoon, at....

The Start

Notice the different participant on the bike...

The End...Bike being dragged with Luke walking next to Oma

 ...AT OMA's TENNIS CAMP!!!!
The weather cleared and off we went to play tennis!  The boys loved it, Lucas tried, but quickly lost interest. He prefers to chase balls...which does work out nicely. Elijah is pretty darn good at tennis, still.  But definitely lacks some direction when it comes to hitting the ball. He wants to do it his way and his way only. What we found was he actually stands in the correct position when he holds and drops the ball himself, rather than when mom would toss him the ball.  Here is a video and some pictures.

The appropriate thing to do after Tennis is to go to the Library. What? Everyone doesn't do that? Hmmm, "everyone" are a questionable group....
Believe it or not, this was the boys' first trip to the library.  With it not opening until 12 pm on the weekends, and all the "story time" fun things that "other" mom's get to do during the week, only offered during the week at 10 am, we haven't had much of a chance to get there.
And what was the first thing Elijah did when we went to the book library? Well, played video games of course! (what is this world coming to). So I lost him to that, but the other darling child took an interest in the books...every book HAHA!

and then he found the computer too.

And that was the end of our Day 2 with mom! Hooray! more to come!
