Grandma And Grandpa

We were lucky enough to spend seven days in Arkansas with Cooper's grandparents.  Fun, sun, and quality time.  We had such a good time, and it was definitely hard to leave at the end of the week!

Hung out down at the beach on Balboa Lake, and other than the rocks under our feet, we enjoyed watching Cooper splash and kick and love every minute of the water.  He was less than thrilled when it came time to get into the hot car and head back to the house.

There was absolutely no lack of attention in the mornings.

The cutest thing to watch was Grandpa get down on the floor and repeatedly say, "Roll over boy!" to a child that can sit up, loves to stand with assistance, but utterly and categorically refuses to roll whatsoever. (newsflash, he is now rolling over) 

A visit would not be complete without jumping into the lake off of Grandma and Grandpa's dock.  Cooper loved this raft, and we think he looked at his time in it as if he was sitting in his bathtub at home.

He splashed and played with his rubber duck, but unfortunately we have no pictures of him hanging on tight to the water noodle that he took a big bite out of the top.

The infant life-preserver that we quickly abandoned. Cooper hated every single second of it.  He felt too squished.

 

Hawaiian shirt fits him, huh?  We were on our way to a party in Hot Springs.  Cooper needed to be festive for the open house.

Cooper truly loved sitting up on the counter, in the action, and watching Grandpa take care of all his projects. (but cooper was not a fan of fox news)

We had such a good time. Cooper is going to miss his grandparents!  Happily, it is less than six weeks we all meet again in Barcelona for our trip.  It ain't Arkansas, but it will have to do.
