One of my first Grandma duties while in LA, was to take Banjo for a haircut.
It was more like Banjo taking me to the hairdressers. This little 3 year old took me by the hand and showed me the way down Melrose Ave to the shop where he has his hair cut.
Isn't he an angel?
Another day we all went down Melrose Ave to the children's shoe shop for new shoes. Banjo soon decided on his new Crocs but Fox took a little longer.
Meanwhile Grandma tried some arty shots.
Nearly everyday we took the children to one of the many playgrounds in LA. This one had pony rides and a little train.
Fox was proud to go with the older kids and do some trotting.
Banjo didn't like it when he was younger but he enjoyed it on this day.
I wonder what he's thinking?
Then it was "all aboard" for a train ride around the park. Fox was allowed to make the announcement over the PA system. After a snack it was time to go home for Banjo's nap and Grandma's cup of tea and a good sit down. It sure is fun but tiring playing with the grandkids.
Good to see Banjo on a horse.
ReplyDeleteWho knows one day we may see him
in a remake of that Aussie film of riders
in the high country down Mt Kosciuszko way.
Buggered if I can remember the name of the film or the poem.

DeleteThanks Diane - Almost drove me "bananas" trying to remember.
DeleteWoke up about 2.00 am as my memory cells came to action.
However I decided I'd stay in bed - hoping you'd know or someone
else in case I had forgotten again. Should have been easy,

Hello Diane, It may have been exhausting but I am sure you loved every minute of being with your cute grandsons. Fox looks very comfortable riding on the horse. Banjo looks adorable with his new haircut. They are growing up so fast, handsome boys. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeletesuch cute boys!!
ReplyDeleteSuch lucky boys and a lucky Gma! I love that their parents are so good about getting them out and about to experience life - especially at this age. I cannot however believe how BIG they are getting!
ReplyDeleteI would have enjoyed the day, just seeing the pony and riding the train. they are both adorable. love the haircut dreamer shot
ReplyDeleteYour grandsons are both so cute and how good Banjo was for his haircut. so did you buy some of those arty shoes. Tennis shoes are really looking amazing these days.
ReplyDeleteYes we bought crocs and sneakers for the boys
DeleteWhat fun! Your grandsons are getting cuter and cuter!
ReplyDeleteI feel your tiredness, but it's so worth it. Those boys are growing and more handsome by the year. Looks like you had a busy and fun visit.
ReplyDeleteYes he is an angel! so cute. Nice you could do all that with him, even watch them ride a pony.!!
ReplyDeleteNot only does he look like an angel! A lot of little boys do not take haircuts so well. Just ask my hairdresser daughter. Those boys must bring you so much joy. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great time with your boys
ReplyDeleteLovely handsome boys... You were certainly kept going, oh but what fun..
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you having quality time with your grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteYour little guys are so cute, Diane. I bet you miss them like crazy when you come home! I won't see mine until September and I can't wait. I've never been away from them before.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! They really are angels!
ReplyDeletelovely to see photos of your visit. very special times for all of you.
ReplyDeleteGreat holidays with the grand kids and great memories for later. I am sure you will be there in no time again. The photos are very special, the boys are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Banjo is already 3. Such cute kids.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Banjo took very good care of you. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are keeping really busy!!! Amazing how one can be so tired, yet not willing to miss one minute spending time with the grandchildren! Especially for you, when you have to pack a lot of fun and bonding into a set vacation time.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and great memories for you of your trip. Hope all is well t'other Diane
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Banjo will insist that he waits until you come back for his next haircut. [ That's the case with one of my grandsons so he has longish hair when I arrive.] Grandkids know how to make the most of separations! Lovely photos of your boys. See how they grow!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud, Banjo didn't throw a wobbly having his hair cut. He is growing up.
ReplyDeleteAw they're so sweet. You really enjoyed yourself all right. Good to have that cuppa and feet up afterwards ;D)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Very special times with those handsome grandsons of yours.
ReplyDeleteAgreed that yiur gransdon, Banjo, looked very angelic in the midst of his haircut. You certainky had full days out with bith grandsons and bet yiu were ready for a. rest when you returned home, Diane.
