Terry and Shane visit Colorado

One of my best friends Terry came to visit us over the long weekend of Thanksgiving. He even brought his son Shane with him which was a treat as i have not seen him since he was born.

It was a nice relaxing 3 days. We spent it mainly doing things with the kids. Shane and Tyler got along pretty well and Shane was showing Tyler the ropes on how to conquer the Ipad. He's an Ipad whiz.

The kids break the ice playing with Thomas

Shane showing Tyler how to play the Ipad like a pro

They spent many hours huddled over the Ipad

We played with play-doh

Went to expend some energy at Jumping Jordy's

They pretend to fight

Tyler showed Shane the way round the tunnels at the play area

More computer games

The one time we get to go out for a meal at a restaurant

One quiet morning when Tyler and Cody were in school

Shane and Tyler played really well the entire time they were together as Shane was a very pleasant and mellow kid. And Tyler must have liked him a lot because when he found out that Shane had left while he was still in school, he burst into tears. This is what i call affection. Never seen it before! :) And the next morning, he even told me he dreamt of him. Wow!! Unbelievable...

In fact, i shall record the conversation we had just for remembrance:

While we were driving home..
Me : Tyler, Shane has gone home to Chicago, OK?
Tyler : (looking a little sad).. Why?
Me : because his plane has arrived to take him home.

When we got home,
Tyler : Mommy, Shane is just sleeping upstairs, right? He's taking a nap.. right? Mommy??
Me : No, Tyler.. Shane has gone home..
Tyler : No...
Me : Yes, Tyler.. look at his shoes, they are not there anymore..
Tyler : wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

Anyways, it was definitely a treat for me to have them for a few days. We promise to visit the next time around!!
