Grandma An's

Watching "Banana" with Aunt Hannah.  I had no idea what that started.  They absolutely LOVE this mini movie from the minions.  Tucker asks for it repeatedly and laughs hysterically at seemingly random parts of the movie

On the tractor at the pumpkin patch.  We rode in the trailer of this tractor quite a ways to pick out a pumpkin.  When we got there, the driver said we could sit in the seat.  Now.  If he had let Tucker touch the buttons

Getting ready for the wagon ride.  Paul, me, Whit, Hannah, Tucker doggy, Angel

Their second pumpkin carving in life

Tucker at party.  After having eaten 2 whole hot dogs.  I didn't know he even liked hot dogs.  Whit ate the same number.  Then, two hours later, ate all the candy from the bags.  I thought they'd get sick.  Nope.

Tucker was actually pretty good at pulling this himself, but not so good at steering

Tucker laughing while swinging with Grandpa.  Very entertained with this swing, especially upside down

They each took turns pushing each other

Whit on swing.  After a few times, they got brave enough to swing together.  Whitney in the hole and Tucker on top worked best.  Tucker could barely bend himself enough to sit in the hole. Not as flexible.

Nice dental shot

At Grandma An's the weather was a lot warmer and we had access to a car during her workday, so we went........... to the park!  There were some really fun parks nearby.  Their favorite feature of one of the parks was the web thing.  They played monkeys on it for a really long time.  Playing monkeys went kind of like this:  Tucker sat on the little platform near the top while Whitney climbed up and down and around him.  But then she talked him into "painting" his toes pink with the playground tanbark later.

The toilet at that park had a foot flusher.  I had no idea how long lasting of an effect that was going to have on Tucker.  He went home to Grandma An's and flushed her toilet with his foot.  He barely has the flexibility to do it.  That's what makes it so funny to watch him do it.  And he definitely can't do it with jeans on.  He has to stand on his tiptoe and bend his knee of his weightbearing leg, then hold on to the counter and toilet with his hands while he bends his back.  If he does all of that, then he can reach the handle with his other foot.  Once we got home, he found a better way to do it.  Just climb on the toilet lid.  Duh.

Grandma An's animals were very, very relieved to see Tucker and Whitney go.  They chased Kitty around the house quite a bit.  Then, when they couldn't catch her, they would send her "gifts" through the cat door into the garage.  Very calming to the nerves, I'm sure. 

The fish had a heart attack every time they would look at him.  And then when they would touch the tank, he was sure to never come out of hiding.  They tried to feed him by themselves while I was in the bathroom.  I'm really glad the top was too hard to open wide enough to get the abundance of food in.  Fish food goes up one shelf higher.

Another favorite thing at Grandma An's were her plastic bins.  She keeps the smaller kid toys in these bins.  After about 3 day days of playing with all those cool new toys, they dumped out the buckets and pushed them around the house.  Then they got the idea to put their pumpkins in the bins and push them around, too.  And then they got the brillant idea to roll the pumpkin on the floor like a bowling ball.  Tucker did that once.  Whitney and Grandma An wouldn't let Tucker near their pumpkins after that.  He split his open.

Getting dressed when the beds are blankets on the floor makes for a static electricity affair.  Whitney's hair was going wild one morning into her face.  She said "Where's Whitney?" and then took two hands to flip her hair back so I could see her face.  I laughed really hard at it, so Tucker did the same thing.  He leaned his head forward, said "where's Tucker" and moved his imaginary mane of hair back in the same manner.  Of course that made me laugh harder.

The pics explain a lot of  the good times we had there.  Grandma An is great with remember to bust out the camera.  We had loads of fun!
