My Dad was in town this past weekend. He and Sawyer bonded a bit too well. When my Dad was packing his bag to fly home the next day I saw Sawyer trying to army-crawl into it. Sawyer also picked up this annoying knack for telling me how to do things, even though what I did was just fine. He DEFINITELY learned that from my Dad as well...damnit. It's going to take weeks to get him to drop that habit.
These two had a bit too much fun with each other.
On Labor Day we had lunch over at David and Susan's house. Unbeknownst to us, that was also the day that Susan decided to spread the ashes of the three previous dogs that had died over the past 20 years. I think she got Labor Day mixed up with Memorial Day. Sure, those dogs didn't serve in the Armed Forces, but if there's anything you learn from spending time at Sabina Vineyards, the dogs work hard to sell the wine, chase balls, eat EVERYTHING, protect the vineyard and house, and love the family members. So...in my opinion, that's close enough.
My Dad held Sawyer while I took pictures and David, Susan and Dana spread the ashes. David asked what Sawyer was thinking while this was going on...
"Which Grandparent's ashes are next?"-Sawyer
Luckily, Sawyer's four grandparents are very healthy. I reassured him of this, and he slept peacefully in the car on the way home afterwards. Actually, Dana, Dad, Sawyer & Lincoln slept peacefully while I drove. I need to remember to let someone else drive next time.
Overall, it was a very nice visit with my Dad, and we can't wait until Leigh and Chase come to visit in November!
