Porsche

On the weekend of March 6&7, my parents and my brother came up for a visit. My brother was just about to move to Southern California and had just purchased a new Porsche. Knowing how much Jacob loves cars right now, and especially Porsches (he loves the website!), my brother wanted to make sure Jacob got a chance to see it before he moved too far away.

This was Jacob's reaction when he first saw the Porsche. Big, big smiles, jumps, and even skipping. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen...total happiness!Natalie was pretty smitten with the fast, fast race car too. She was quick to jump in the driver's seat and check things out!Natalie got to take a ride first...she was so upset, as you can see... ;) Eric said they got some interesting comments and lots of looks...apparently people don't often see big car seats in the front of little sports cars. One guy even told Natalie her carseat was "tight." Ha!Sydney, being a little young for race car rides, hung out with Oma.Sydney took Daddy for a run, too... Then it was Jacob's turn. He had been pretty upset that Natalie got to go first...but I had wanted him to see her get in and drive off (and then come back) so he knew what to expect. When it was his turn he hopped RIGHT in. And did I mention the smiles?This pretty much says it all...happy, happy boy...but also a little in shock...
There they go!

Here's Natalie explaining how the roof of the car GOES UP AND DOWN!!!Sydney entertained GrampsAnd then we went in to give Uncle Eric a rest! No such luck for Gramps, though...I think Sydney mistook him for an Occupational Therapist...

Although she did give out hugs as WELL as a workout!Then for a healthy treat. :)Natalie wanted to show Oma her fish aquarium on Facebook...
Gramps & Oma went back home on Saturday night but Uncle Eric spent the night. He was pretty much attacked at the crack of dawn by three excited little kids! Jacob had a great time with him, lots of giggling and silliness.

Natalie joined in as well!Here's Natalie at the end of the day...feeling very comfortable in the car after several rides from Uncle Eric!And Jacob, enjoying the top down even though they were just sitting in front of the house.That night, after Uncle Eric left, Jacob sat in his room and sobbed. He was saying "Porsche...Porsche....Porsche." Sooooooooooo sad. But it meant he had a really good time.

Thanks Uncle Eric!!!
