A visit from grandma and grandpa

El Burrito had visitors today. My parents came to town for a medical appointment. (Dad had a hearing test at the VA. He needs hearing aids. This isn't news, folks. Years of driving a tractor and lawnmower, for starters.)

Mom can't be within 30 miles of us without coming to see her one and only grandson, so they came over for a few hours. Dad brought a stack of farm magazines for El Burrito, and Mom fed him a little box of animal crackers (ruined his lunch).

And then we almost had some trouble when they left. Dad sat down to put his boots on, and El B was right there beside him, waiting for a ride in Grandpa's Truck (which was at home - they drove the car). We walked out to the car with them, and El B was ready to hop in and go home with them. He cried a bit when they left without him, but not as much as I expected. We read two books when we got back inside, and then he was ready for his nap.

We'll probably see Grandma and Grandpa over Memorial weekend, and I'm sure he'll get a few rides in the Truck then, to make up for today. No, he's not spoiled at all. (Sarcasm there)
