The three Williams (William, Bill and Will)

The maiden voyage

Over Memorial Day weekend we traveled to Houston to visit Nena and Papa (aka Will's parents). William was so excited to go to Nena and Papa's house. He always has sooo much fun...because he gets the run of the house!

Every morning William helped Nena pick "matoes" (tomatoes) and flowers in the back yard. He was very busy the entire weekend! The only time he was still was while he was sleeping.

This was William's first time to sleep in a big bed (full size bed). I was a little nervous but came prepared with side rails....and Nena. He did great! He took pretty good naps and slept all night. Of course Nena did sleep with him the first two nights but by the third night he was sleeping solo. The first night he kept reaching over and saying "Nena"...just making sure she hadn't ditched him.

We took him to the park one afternoon. They have the BEST park near their house and William just loves it. It has five different play areas all covered with an awning so it is not completely miserable for the adults and the little ones are protected from the scorching sun. One of the play areas has a zip line and William loved it! He had to do it over and over and over.....

After our trip to the park we stopped at a spray park so William could cool off after running around. Once he warmed up to the idea he and his Dad had a great time getting soaked! Then we had to make a run for it...a HUGE "wunderstorm" (William's word for thunderstorm) was blowing in at record speed so we headed home for dinner.

One evening William and Nena (God bless her) played in the sprinklers in the backyard while Will, Bill and I sat on the porch and watched. William loved telling Nena which way to run and jump through the sprinklers. William of course was running around in his birthday suit and could not understand why Nena would not take off her clothes! Crazy kid.

The highlight of the trip was William's new wagon. Nena and Papa bought him a Radio Flyer red wagon which he loves. He helped (I use the term loosely) Daddy and Papa put the wagon together and then they took it out for a test drive. He loves it!!!

Thank you Nena and Papa for a fun weekend!!
