OT in GB - Part 1

Ollie T and I have been in GB for a week already and we have packed it in!  We have had a wonderful time thus far.  The trip here was long but good; he's become a great little traveler (this is his 6th flight already!) and at the end, he arrived to Mimi and Bop's house smiling and happy.  Here we are on the plane at the beginning:

...and 12 hours later at the end.  Playing trains and dinosaurs with Bop. Yay!

First order of business the next morning was to visit the tractor/trailer factory warehouse located just a few miles from my parents house. If there's a heaven, this is what it looks like to Ollie:
Tractors and trailers and shovels - oh my. 

A very recent addition to my parents house is a new boat! Although Ollie really hates the life jacket, he quickly forgets about it when he's on Mimi's lap or when Bop lets him steer.

The highlight of the trip so far has been a visit from Auntie Mollie, Uncle Dave, and cousins Buggie and Ellen.  We have missed them so much while we have been in Portland, so it was a real treat to have them spend 3 nights with us!  Jane and Ollie play really well together and Ellen really loves sitting next to her big cousin.  They are such sweet sweet girls - and are going to need several days to recover from 3 days with their wild and crazy boy cousin!

Reunied and happy!
The three amigos.

The weekend got even better when Great Grandma Nancy (GGN) and Great Grandpa Tom (GGT) came over for dinner.  Ollie loved sitting next to GGN for dinner, as she entertained him with her bumblebee song.  Here he is getting stung!

Part 2 coming soon!
