T Minus 1 day and counting....My Mom and Papa G are one day away from their annual pilgrimage (a few days early thanks to Skybus) to their "Red Sox" home in York Maine. These types of summer migrants are often known as "Snow Birds", not my mom... she moves in conjunction with the Red Sox. She makes her stay in York about the same time the Sox season starts and heads back to Florida after the season....and oh yeah.. she is a spring training season ticket holder as well....so she is close to the Red Sox about 9 months out of the year.
We are really looking forward to her coming to Maine. We enjoy all of the summer activities she does with us. Hiking Mt. A, Deep Sea Fishing, Boating, Beaching (watching our kids...:-) ) As for Papa G he enjoys many of the same activities but something tells me his summer will be dedicated to building his boat. I am also looking forward to some sailing lessons from Papa G. The second place finish in the York Harbor to Nubble Light sail boat race hasn't sat well with me all winter. This year we win!
The most exciting moment will be when she meets her newest grandchild, Beckett, for the first time.
The only downside is that I will have to give them the BIG GREEN EGG back that I babysat all winter (and fell in love with).
See you at the airport Mom!
EEEK! I can't wait to see them so they can meet the newest Sox fan to the family!

LOL at that picture! That is hysterical! They look like they are in disguise!
Yay! I'm so glad that they're coming! Oh, and Mom: I need a sitter for a dinner party Saturday night, are you available?
...it'll be a great way for you to spend some quality bonding time with 3/7ths of your grandchildren after a long winter's rest.
