Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

Grandpa Van and Grandma Barb visited us from Minneapolis for about 10 days. We all had a great time together, and Jules really loved spending time with his grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa were amazed by my little boy's sociability and adaptability - about two hours after they landed, they looked after him for the day while I went to work. He loved it.

Highlights of the visit were:
Visit up north to see Steve's family
Walks to the local playground
Walk up North Head in Devonport (10 min drive from our house)
Visit to Kelly Tarltons aquarium - fish and penguins
Trip on the ferry to Waiheke Island

At Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. It was a big hit with everybody!

Jules and Grandpa were great cleaning partners - I think they both got the cleaning gene.
Why oh why did it skip me?

Jules first haircut took place during Grandma and Grandpa's visit.

Jules first big hike - down North Head in Devonport. A big walk for a little guy!
