This is the day. William is excited. His mommy is coming today.
But breakfast first. Omi promised mango cream.
William has to move from the guest bed onto the blow-up. He is helping Papa.
Has to try it out.
Still time for a 'Master Mind' game. He is good! Sometimes he likes to be code-maker and sometimes code-breaker.
On the way to the airport. When we were almost there Helen texted that she is stuck in Charlotte. Her plane is delayed. Williams sends her a kiss photo to comfort her.
2 and a half hours late ... but finally here!
Sarah had wanted to come and see her sister after work but that was not possible any longer. What a disappointment.
Thursday
Decided to walk a little along the James River. It was such a nice morning. We parked near Tredegar and walked to the new bridge (some of the following photos were taken by Helen).
The water level in the river was very low. Very interesting.
Do you see the heron at the bottom on the left? iPhone is pretty good for 'regular' photos but sometimes I wished ... I have not used my 'real' camera for a long time but I don't feel like carrying two.
We had to stop and look often. There were so many different turtles and other creatures to see.
Early lunch. We were hot and thirsty. The Legend was perfect. Everybody enjoyed it.
With new energy we even took the longer way back to the car.
William is not really a 'walker' but he did very well. We went back home and refreshed. For dinner we were invited by Sarah. Of course she worked all day so this is the only time the sisters can see. And of course Helen wants to see all her nephews. You can see on her selfies that she enjoyed it very much.
You can see on the video that the four cousins played very nicely together. I skipped the neighborhood walk to nurse my knee. It had had enough this day.
Sisters and Cousins time (1:17)
When the twins were finally in bed and we all had had dinner William voiced that his cousins wore him out. He is not used to playing like that. But of course he liked it.
What a great time. Our two daughters. Our four grandsons. What more could we want. Thank the Lord!
