A highlight of the visit, besides seeing both sets of grandparents, of course, was Will's first trip to the beach - as in the beach complete with splashing in the waves and playing with sand toys. While he's certainly had his fair share of sand and waves on the Pacific, this was the official real deal Atlantic Coast beach experience. Will also discovered that he liked the taste of salt on his fingers!
We were also excited to meet up with the Wardell clan. Dorothy Wardell is Grammy Donna's cousin. So Dorothy's adorable grandson, Dexter, is Will's ____? We'll come up with a fun prize for someone who knows the answer. In the meantime, you'll find Will and Dexter happily playing together, below. We were very impressed with how Dexter shared so well and how he was quick to show Will the ropes when it came to the sand toys. A high five goes to his parents, Cecily and Steve - they must be doing something right! We hope that Will learned a thing or two!
A visit with Poppie wouldn't be complete without tennis, and we delivered by scheduling our visit around Wimbledon. The fellas all enjoyed some great games, and we're sure that one day Will make a heck of a fourth player for their annual doubles match; in the meantime, Wimbledon was the backdrop for playtime. Will and Granddad even had matching outfits on.
All the adults also took in the sea breeze and fresh seafood during a relaxing dinner at the Club's restaurant, while Will wreaked havoc at home with a sitter.
And on Will's last day, he showed off his push-toy skills while he and Grammy Donna explored the driveway and other surrounds.
Here's to Grandparent-fest 2010!
