Sunday at Grandma and Nanno's

Sunday we went to my grandparent's house, or Grandma and Nanno as we call them.  My sisters, my dad, one of my aunts and uncles and a couple of my cousins were all there.  A small group by our standards, but sometimes that makes it more fun.  Here is a list of some fun things that happened.

1.  Joel and Vince got to enjoy playing with the laundry chute.  A right of passage at my grandparents.
2.  Joel ate and loved my Grandma's salad.  It is a home made dressing with plenty of garlic and vinegar.  I was surprised he ate it.  He smelled liked garlic the next day!
3.  Brad took the boys in the backyard and taught Vince to tackle people.
4.  Vince asked several people to go outside so he could tackle them.  My sister's boyfriend lasted the longest outside with Vince.
5.  I played on the treadmill with the kids and they took turns riding to the end and falling off.  A favorite activity of my sisters and me when we were little.
6.  Nanno continued the tradition of giving money to the grandchildren/great-grandchildren before they went home.  Joel and Vince each received a silver dollar!  Vince put it right into his piggy bank.
7.  We went to Rainbow Ice Cream and enjoyed a rainbow cone after our visit.  5 different flavors piled high...delicious and Vince loved it!  Joel was sleeping.

There is nothing quite like going to the house your grandparents have lived in at least as long as you have been alive and watching your kids enjoy the same things you did when you were little.  I am truly blessed to have both sets of my grandparents around for my children to get to know!
