Fun With Leo

Warning:  this is a Leo photo heavy post, but there are some quilting pictures included as well.

I spent a fun week with my grandson (and son) while my daughter-in-law was on a trip with her mom.  I am so thankful to have the time (as well as the cooperation of the rest of my family left at home) to travel three time zones over and lend a hand.  It can be difficult when family is spread all over.  I am sure there are many of you who can relate to this.

Leo and I had a good time with the daily chores....

housework
yard work
"farm" work
We had a few routines....

morning coffee
napping with our quilts
checking our email

napping/not napping
going for a drive
Leo and I took a few field trips....

Island Quilter on Vashon Island, Washington
Quilted Strait in Port Gamble, Washington
Kids Discovery Museum so I will be invited back
I learned Leo loves to take selfies...

first day selfie....love that cute embarrassed shrug he does
last day selfie....looking out the window....

I learned (accidentally) how certain features on my phone works thanks to Leo....

text to my daughter...

....asking for help
this is cool....how do you get to this screen?!
I learned Leo doesn't like to hold hands, but he will occasionally....

my heart just melts
Leo likes to climb like {ahem} someone else....

he didn't learn this from me....no injuries on my watch!
exploring
Port Gamble

Leo showed me the water.....

missed Luke Haynes's exhibit at Island Quilter but he left a few quilts

....and I showed him beautiful quilts made by men.

Quilt shops can be a great place to teach kids about color....

Nature is also a good teacher....

Leo prefers the outside to inside of quilt shops!
