Like usual, our Saturday morning began with the boys taking a dip in the pool. This week though, Graham was lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Olson cheering him on from the pool deck! Graham happily showed off his toddler swimming skills....chasing the ball, kicking his legs, and drinking large quantities of heavily chlorinated warm pool water!
After swimming, Grandma and Grandpa Olson joined us back at our house for lunch and some play time with Graham. Despite an extremely exhausted baby (Graham misses his morning nap in order to attend swimming lessons) we decided to take a walk to the park with hopes that the swing would perk him up. Unfortunately, our trip to the park was cut short because there was no pleasing Graham. He wasn't content until he got his bottle and was tucked into his crib for a nice long nap!
Today, we decided to head down to Northfield for lunch and Graham's first official college visit! He's been down to St. Olaf before, but only to watch a cross country meet, so that doesn't really count. Jeff and I both had such wonderful experiences at St. Olaf-we had opportunities to travel from one end of the globe to the other, we made fantastic friends, and we found each other. Is it any wonder that we're a bit partial to our school on the "hill"? Hopefully, in the years to come we'll be able to instill Ole pride in our little guy so he'll be able to chant "Um Ya Ya" about 17 years from now. Our first stop of the day was Hogan Bros. restaurant, one of our favorite college hangouts. We were pleased to see that Graham seemed to really enjoy himself there!
Our next stop was the Narum House. Jeff proudly showed Graham where he spent what he describes as the best semester of his St. Olaf career living in this house with his best friends. Thankfully, there was no sighting of "CDG"....you have to be a Narum clan member to understand the significance of this! :)

We finally made it to St. Olaf where we enjoyed wandering around and watching the campus come to life. We laughed to ourselves because Sunday's at school started VERY late, rolling out of bed maybe by 10:00, and maybe making it to the cafeteria in time for breakfast before it closes to begin preparing lunch. Our lives have certainly changed with our human alarm clock that enjoys coming to live each morning before 7:00!
Apparently, the car ride home was a bit boring for Graham. Before we knew it, he was taking off his shoes. Then he was taking off his socks. Then, he was putting his feet in his mouth. What was he thinking?!?!?!
After an afternoon nap, we all changed into play clothes and headed outside to enjoy the nicest weather we've had all season. Grandma and Grandpa Greer came over to BBQ and we enjoyed watching Graham explore the backyard with his new wagon.

Graham enjoyed showing Grandpa Greer his new book about trucks. Graham is REALLY into trucks right now, and with each turn of the page he would exclaim very loudly "UCK!"
