"Chile Kids"

 Today the littles woke excited to pick up Grampa from the airport. He's been in Chile for a few weeks with my brother checking out my brother's mission area. They had a wonderful time! Joe frequently talks about his Grampa to friends and strangers at the grocery store. One friend asked, "Where's your Grampa?" Without skipping a beat Joe replied with a shrug, "He's eatin' Chile..." 

 This afternoon Grampa started a pretty epic water fight with the boys. I got a kick out of watching Finley's face as he sprayed his big brothers. They were good sports and ran in for more over and over again. I think they liked hearing their little brother laugh just as much as the rest of us!

 While the three of them played in a freshly filled pool we enjoyed a slush and a chat in the shade. It was fun to hear about their experiences in Chile and compare them to my experience in Costa Rica. I always love hearing about other cultures!

 

 Just before Grampa left he gifted the kids with these adorable little ponchos. They loved them so much they even wore them to bed! After putting his on, Hyrum said, "If we get on a plane with these on and fly to Chile, they're gunna think we're Chile kids!" A laugh escaped me. These little blue-eyed gringo's would stick out like sore thumbs. It's so fun seeing into their minds sometimes. Oh, how they must see the world!

Finley cuddled up and said "cheese" again. I couldn't help myself. Thanks so much for the gifts Grampa!
