Today Nephew Theo and Niece Ruby turn 15. This seems hard to believe. That they are that old.
Seems like only yesterday Theo and Ruby greeted me a few minutes after getting off a plane at Sea-Tac. I blogged about that moment in With Sheriff Help David, Theo & Ruby Find Their Uncle.
But, that was in early August of 2017. That week up in Washington was the best time I'd had in a while, mostly due to the fun of getting to know Theo and Ruby and their older brother, David.
The photo above was taken, that week, during a fun time at Tacoma's Point Ruston. I blogged about that in Point Ruston Ruby, Theo & David Surrey Survey Of Tacoma's New Waterfront Development.
I think it was the day before we went to Point Ruston that I was Riding Tacoma Waves With David, Theo & Ruby.
We spent several days at Birch Bay. And one day several hours in Lynden, during which Ruby Slotemaker Finds Road With Her Name On It.
It was a sad departure, leaving Washington, flying south to Arizona. I blogged about that in Sad Washington Departure Leaving David, Theo & Ruby Behind After Blackberry Milkshakes.
It was to be almost two years til I saw Theo & Ruby again. This time in Arizona. In March of 2019. I think I was in Arizona about a month, that visit, with Theo & Ruby, their parental units, and brother David, staying about a week.
During that week we had a lot of fun, including a Cool Arizona Pool With Theo Driving Ruby On Handlebars. That blog post has a video of Theo driving Grandma's vehicle.
More swimming took place at Grandma's pool in Sun Lakes. That was blogged about in Driving Miss Daisy To Swim In And Out To Tucson. I have zero clue what the Tucson reference was in reference to.
There are some fun parks in the various towns in the Phoenix metro zone. The town of Mesa had the funnest I came across, including the two blogged about in David, Theo & Ruby In Mesa's Riverview & Pioneer Parks.
Another fun day was spent Riding Horses With Miss Daisy, David, Theo & Ruby. That included a memorable visit to one of my brother-in-law's McDonald's, where David, Theo & Ruby got a tour and Happy Meal boxes filled with every available Happy Meal toy.
Christmas of 2027 I may be going to Disneyland with Theo & Ruby, and others. I would hope I may get to see the twins before then.
Time flies so fast....
