Doesn't that sound like a great title for a children's book?? Hmm...something to keep in mind for the future. :)
Actually, this post is about my mom coming to stay with the boys and me while Russ was out of town on a missions trip. Less than a week after arriving home from our travels, Russ set off again with the young adults from church to minister to some folks in the heart of Denver, a forgotten population. This would have left me alone with my two dear, sweet, BUSY boys for an entire week. When I mentioned this to my dad and said how very very nice it would be to have a Grandma close by to help out, he put her on a plane to Dallas and said, "Have fun!" Thank you, Grandpa, for sharing her with us. It was MUCH needed and MUCH loved. We went to the zoo, played with play-dough, went shopping, played at the park and even went potty on the toilet for the first time (Garrett I meant...just in case you were wondering). Grandma's Visit = Success
Driving Miss Julie...
He was so excited to feed the giraffes! What a difference a year makes because last year he wanted nothing to do with these guys.
Everything is climbable to this boy.
This picture is for you, Daddy. We know how much you looooove ostriches and emus. *Insert sarcastic twang here.*
The water feature of the kids area was such fun! Both boys got completely soaked and had to be changed but it was worth it on such a hot and sticky day.
He was pooped. This nap only lasted about 30 minutes though and he was ready to roll again.
Garrett asked about the carousel every single time we walked past it, so we had to give him a turn.
He loooooves his froggy umbrella that Grandma got him at the gift shop.
Garrett had to show Grandma how we cook for Cookie Monster and feed him. I think she picked it up pretty quickly.
He actually got to use his froggy umbrella while she was here! We had a round of stormy weather the day before she left and Garrett was quick to ask about using his umbrella and rain boots.
