The Grands

This weekend Skylar got to meet her other set of great grandparents (Gayle's parents) for the very first time! They drove up from Florida along with some of Micah's great aunts and uncles. We went over to their hotel to meet up with them and Puppa scooped Skylar right up. She gave him hug and then tried to figure out who he was:

On Saturday we took everyone to Ft. Jackson to do a little sight seeing tour. Skylar was excited to have some people in the back seat with her and to show everyone around her favorite park.

Her entourage of eight adults followed her around the playground and watched her play from the shade of a pavilion. Skylar and Mumma even wore matching colors:Here are Uncle Art and Aunt Karen. Uncle Art was in the Army for 32 years and fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam. He told us some amazing stories, including the time he jumped into Normandy at the age of 17, just like in the Band of Brothers series (except he was in H Company, not E Company like in the movie). He also has a purple heart. I wish we'd had more time to hear the rest of his stories!
Skylar loved Uncle John and Aunt Jeanie. They have a little grand daughter almost the same age, so they've had lots of practice with little girls!

We had a great weekend hanging out with family we don't get to see very often! Skylar was spoiled rotten by all the sweet gifts and attention. She just assumed it was still her birthday, and wanted us to sing Happy Birthday to her....again. I guess we'll just keep on celebrating right up until the 3rd birthday. Why stop now?
