Papa Deeeee

We traveled to Peoria Illinois for a visit with Kyle's great grandpa Defoe ("Papa Dee"). Here are Kyle and Papa sharing a moment at Grandpa's favorite breakfast spot, Gebby's.
"Nanny" and Kyle blowing bubbles on Grandpa's front porch.
As a kid, Doug used to love to check Grandpa's mail and distribute it appropriately. Kyle is his father's son - he enjoyed playing with the mailbox too.
"Papa", "Nanny", and Kyle on the front porch getting ready to blow some bubbles.
The Defoe/Gresham clan (Tim, Gloria, Grandpa, Doug, & Kyle) - Grandpa watched everything that Kyle did.
The whole crew.
"See Papa? I now like to eat my meals with my sunglasses on. It's awesome, don't you think?"
Here are Grandpa Defoe and Kyle comparing hands.
"Here, Papa, let me get that for you. You have a little something riiight there. Got it. Now, can you get mine?"
Kyle and Dad on Grandpa Defoe's porch.
"This thing is awesome, Papa D, can i take it home with me? I could have used this about 7 months ago."
Lots of bugs might not seem like a positive aspect of our trip, but Kyle loves bugs and was fascinated during his first experience with a real live caterpillar.
Kyle enjoyed playing with Grandpa D's door - open - shut - open - shut - open - shut... you get the idea.
