New Jersey Part 3: Meeting Grams and Pop Pop

The whole point of our journey to New Jersey was to introduce Reni to his great-grandparents and give Ellie another memory of these relatives she has only seen a few times.  We met Pop Pop for lunch before driving over to the nursing home where Grams resides.

Give me five!

GIANT COOKIE!



Grams wasn't quite ready for us so we took a few photos under a shade tree out front




Yes, those are traces of her cookie in her teeth



Ellie was fascinated with Grams' skin


M&Ms are universally loved!
Ellie told Grams a story (and seemed to really entertain her) and Reni showed off his walking skills (though not as keen to wear his legs as we might have hoped).  All in all, we had a really nice visit and are so glad for the opportunity.
