Maybe it wasn't quite THAT extreme of a conversation, but it was pretty close. That's typical for our Texan friends. And our response to them was typical as well: "Come!!! You're always invited!"
Noah loves having other boys around to play with. He got along easily with Judah, shared his toys well, and then did the typical 2-year-old sort-of-play-with-you-and-sort-of-ignore-you thing.
Highlight of the visit, of course, was showing them around the park. Noah showed Judah how to climb up the stairs, run across the bridge, and go down the slide. Although, as much as Noah liked demonstrating those skills, it seemed like Judah didn't really need to be shown. He doesn't seem to be afraid of very much. He was eager to try it all, whether someone showed him or not.
I'm still not really sure who was having the most fun. Smiles were pretty easy to come by.
Speaking of smiles... this one below looks pretty familiar. Seems like the apple doesn't fall too far...
Eventually we pried the two boys (and at least one of the fathers) away from the slides, though. Surprisingly, there was no wailing or gnashing of teeth.
I guess the fact that there were still cool things to play with (a stroller, a wagon, a tricycle... lots of things with wheels!) made it easier to lure them away from the jungle gym.
And then they rode off into the sunset... well, actually, the kids went to bed, and then (quite awhile later) the adults followed suit - I was so proud! We stayed up late! We weren't old and lame! But sadly, they did ride off into the sunset the next day... Guess it's our turn to go to Texas next!
