We continued our visit in Pennsylvania.
"What a great way to start off the day!"
Exploring at Great's
Reorganizing Great's magazines
"Great's TV stand is hard to open!"

After Greg's first nap, we went out to a retirement / physical rehab community to visit Pat, a family friend. The residents loved meeting Greg and he was happy to smile back at everyone.
"This is fun!"
"Hi, Pat!"
"This contraption is fascinating!"
"Do your ears hang low..."
All smiles

In the afternoon, Mom and I did some rose maintenance for my Grandma, including pulling out a dead plant. It put up quite a fight!
Defeating the rose roots

We went to dinner at our favorite restaurant in town. My great aunt joined us there.

"It's no cheese ravioli, but I guess puffs and goldfish will have to do."

"You're funny, Great!"
Gratuitous cute picture

After dinner, my cousin Adam, his wife Ashley, and their son Andrew came over to visit.

Andrew headed home to North Carolina and Mom, Greg, and I traveled to Pennsylvania to visit family! Greg decided once again that sleeping is highly overrated in the car and took no afternoon nap. Luckily he had a reasonable morning nap before we headed out.

"Gran, this is way more fun than sleeping!"
Andrew, Greg's second cousin
"Do I know you?"
"You do look familiar."
"Let's play!"
"Tada!"
Happy group

"It's a lot harder to hold me now, isn't it, Great?"
"I'm on the move!"

We continued our fun at my parents' home.
Checking out the fridge again
"See, Opa, the red ring goes on the bottom."
"Here, Gran, I'll get a block for you to nibble on."
"Let's do some exercises!"
Standard traveling protocol
He enjoyed crawling with an item in each hand

"You don't say, Opa!"
Greg loved "talking" at the top of the stairs

Mom and I went on a rollerblading adventure while Greg took nap #2. We traveled through our old neighborhood.
