First of all...in case you are wondering,
Lyckebo is the name of my parents' cabin in Old Fort, NC. It means, "Happy Home" in Swedish. We took our very first overnight
road trip with both boys this weekend. Here are the top 10 reasons it was a fabulous weekend.
10)
Raffi learned to fly a
Rocket ship (a plastic cooking spoon), complete with a song, "
Rocket ship,
Rocket ship" sung over and over and over and over.
9) Mom-mom got a chance for some real bonding with little Connor. So sweet how they rocked and how he smiles at just a glance of his Mom-mom now. :)
8) Landon had lots of one-one playtime with mommy, daddy, Pop and mom-mom. He even was caught peeing off the deck, he felt so free and one with the beautiful nature of the mountain! Pop and Daddy were so proud...I guess the re-training begins!
7)
Pop's ribs. No need to say more except for YUM!
6) Landon got to see his very first waterfall. He was so thrilled with it and when asked about his favorite part of our trip, he said without
hesitation, "Getting to see a waterfall!"
5) Lewis stories on the deck with Pop. Landon will literally sit in my dad's lap for an hour and listen to him tell stories about the squirrel named Lewis. It is just plain precious to watch.
4) Getting to see Pa Cole on the way down. He is an amazing great-grandfather to our boys and just plain proud. He is definitely one of the most genuine people I know and is always happy to see family. He is happy to share his wisdom and the many happy memories he and Ma Cole made throughout their lives. They were married for 65 years- what a legacy. We really miss Ma Cole and wish she could have had a chance to meet our Connor.
3) Connor got to bond with his namesake, my dad, Doug. What a gift to watch my parents as grandparents. What wonderful memories it brings back for me from growing up.
2)
Raffi got to see the waterfall.
Heehee.
1) Two wonderful little boys who travelled great! They rode in the car, slept and ate great. They made Stan and I SO proud!
