Poppi turns 90!

I can hardly believe that my Poppi turned 90 years old this past weekend.  It is a big birthday and I knew it would be hard for him to not have my mother there. I thought it was a great idea to make the trip down to see him and spend some quality time with him and the family.
                                      

We got to see a ton of people in this trip and Grayson was a real trooper for all of the photos that I insisted on taking.   We met Tracey and Lucks for dinner one night.  Lucks and Adam had a quick escape to go get dinner themselves and we didn't remember to take a photo :( Pretty bummed about  that.   But nevertheless great shots with Tracey and Gramps watching the sun set.
                                           
The next morning we had a very busy day!  We started meeting part of The Anker clan at this great place called the Funderdome.   I dont know who liked it better, the big boys or the little boy, but nevertheless, we all had fun.




After a nice lunch, we headed up to part two of our day: Poppi, Esther and Aunts/Uncles.
 Lots of tickles from Uncle Keith.
Snuggles with Esther.
Aunt Terry was smitten with this little guy.
Oh, look!  Uncle Jeff is actually being photographed and not just behind the camera!
 Grayson thought it was super funny when UJ would rub his head like a Magic Eight ball and then tickle his belly.
As always, Grayson adored time with Uncle Andy and Chelsea.
The scrunch face, which is back with a vengeance.    Couldn't resist posting this one on the balcony with the blue/green ocean and beautiful sky backdrop.
We have been making a lot of trips to the beach but the pool in our neighborhood is still quite cold.  Luckily, this one was warm!  Grayson warmed up to the idea of being in this ring very quickly and we LOVE it.  It is so nice to not have a little koala bear attached to your neck the whole time you are in the water.  He was doing a great job of kicking and using his hands to steer.
