Uncle J's awesome visit

Uncle J dropped by for a visit the last few days. It was really spectacular. My brother and I had the chance to chat, bond and just spend time together. Mostly Big C was around with us too, so there were a lot of 'we're both little brothers' bonding moments. It was really touching.
Uncle J arrived yesterday afternoon and spent some time with Big C right away. The made the Marbleworks into all sorts of cool shapes and tunnels. They raced and chased marbles. Then we braved the enormous thunderstorm to go get Monkey and come home to make supper. Daddy put together some yummy burgers and veggies to go with them. Uncle J was the big hit for reading books and putting the kids to bed.
Today we were off to hang out. We didn't know what exactly the day would bring, so we took it as it came. Daddy had an appointment in the morning so Big C and Uncle J had some more time together playing with all the toys in the restaurant bag. After a quick stop, we were hungry for lunch. Uncle J mentioned that he had never been to Moxies, and daddy saw the opportunity for a 'Big Boys Lunch' (a tradition he intends to keep up whenever family visits). So off we went.
Big C was a great companion. A very grown up little boy. He made me quite proud and I told him so.
Next we were off to the 'airplane museum'. It was a great time as the three of us walked around, watched the little videos, sat together in some of the cockpits. Uncle J and I both commented on how nice it was just to be together.
We picked up Monkey and then met up with mommy and S, our Japanese guest, for supper at Lone Star. What a rockin' good time. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the company.
Thanks for the visit Uncle J, it was the nicest time that I've had in a while. Come back soon.
