James came over early this weekend. He wanted to help Grandpa and Po Po.
First we put up a temporary fence around the sugar snap peas and raspberries.
As you can see, the rabbits love Po Po's peas and the deer love Po Po's raspberries. They chewed up the tops of our potential harvest and James's fruit servings.
He helped Po Po in other parts of the vegetable garden. He would pick up the weeds that Po Po pulled and put them in the larger bucket.
He tried to do some raking but he likes to turn his rake upside down. Not too effective.
Then he helped wash the boat. Po Po gave him a clean rag with plain water in his own bucket.
He was all over the boat! He was very gung ho to help.
He was very serious about the washing... Every time he needed to get past someone to get to another section of the boat that he wanted to wash, he would say 'excuse me' which meant move now!
Then he helped clean patio furniture.
He did take time to slow down to have some refreshments.
And to explore some of Po Po's gardens. The recent rains made the plants huge.
Well slow down isn't the right word, Grandpa had to really hustle to keep up with James. See who was pulling who? He was determined to walk the steps down to the Asian garden.
And then he really enjoyed Po Po's beef and mushroom pasta casserole.
He is so much fun to have around. He is so willing to help and copy what we do. Very easy to teach and see that excitement on his face.
