Adventures with Papa

It is no secret that Jakob LOVES his Papa! In fact they are inseparable when we visit! Aiden has begun to follow suit and always seems to be right on Papa and Jakob's coattails. I was one lucky little girl growing up because my father has a huge imagination. He would make treasure hunts, build forts and playhouses... I has a VERY fun childhood. It is so fun as an adult to sit back and see my little guys having so much fun with Papa! Here are some shots from our last visit in June:
Jakob got to take a special trip to Papa's work at the Power Plant:

Here is all ready to go:
Isn't he adorable:


Just like his Papa:Working Hard :) :There isn't a day that goes by that I don't hear stories about going to Papa's work! This is something he will never forget!


Another big event is always Papa's Famous Treasure Hunts!! I remember LOVING this as a kid... in fact a couple years back he made each of my siblings and I a treasure hunt. We drove all around town picking up clues from bookstores, our favorite pub, and even a gas station! It was a blast, and we each got some SWEET loot at the end. My father has started a tradition of making the boys a hunt each time we visit! Here are some shots of the most recent:

Finding Clues:




The last adventure of this post would be stargazing! My Dad has a really cool telescope and Jake, Aiden and Papa had a wonderful time checking out the moon and stars:
