We just returned from our trip to Iowa. We had so much fun and are very rested and relaxed! We got to spend lots of time with our family and visit some friends. When we go home I tend to be very selfish with time and prefer to stay planted at Mom & Dad's house. Since Mack doesn't get to see them often I just like to watch them bond and enjoy their time together. I am sorry for not getting together with more friends and I promise to do better on our next visit!
We arrived and Mack made himself right at home! He waltzed around like he owned the place. Grandma had lots of toys and books for him. She took time off work to stay home and play. Grandpa kept Mack happy with frequent peanuts from his shirt pocket. Every time Grandpa would come in the house Mack would go to the entertainment center and point to the can of peanuts on top...Grandpa would reach in his shirt pocket and give Mack one.
Everyday after breakfast Mack would get his shoes and take them to whoever was willing to put them on. Some days we had to distract him because of the rain, but we were able to spend a lot of time outside. He loved the cats! He would run up to one laying on the deck - stop, squat, and shout with excitement... the cats of course ran away. They eventually got used to each other and he was able to pet a few of them. Mack also loved to see the cows up close... he would moo & point.
Mack was very affectionate while we were visiting. He started giving big squeezes for hugs and he started giving out kisses freely. Grandma & Grandpa got a good night kiss before bedtime. And one day he was especially loving w/ Grandma (I think this was because it gave her so much joy).
Here are some pictures from our visit. Enjoy!
