When we asked what place we should take Grandma more than any other, Eli's reply was to Nana and Baba's. We were going to go there anyway, but we saw that it was with the up most importance to Eli that we do so. We left after church on Sunday and returned home this evening. We had a great time playing at the playground, the pool, and bat watching. You wouldn't think so, but bats are very punctual. I'm serious, we would be sitting outside at 8:59 and not see a single bat, and when the clock struck 9:00, dozens of bats would swarm around the waterfall in my parent's backyard. It was pretty amazing. You could hear them flapping and squeaking and they would dive-bomb your head. Eli was completely fascinated and watched them all three nights as long as he could before it got too dark to see or we made him go to bed. We also got to enjoy a new park that had been opened in Caldera Springs right before we came. It has a big grassy field, a tree swing, walking paths, a maze made out of reeds, and a stream with a bridge that Evan was determined to fill up with rocks. Baba said he was also throwing rocks in the other day so that the water would make more noise, so Evan felt the need to do so as well. We played some Frisbee and baseball and football. It is a great place for the kids to run around. Eli is already asking when we are going back! We have a little less than a week with Grandma here. It has gone by too fast once again, but we are planning to spend some time just hanging out at home. We have relocated the pool and it looks like it is going to work, so lots of pool-days to come as Eli would say!
