Old friends

Our good friends Ally, James, and Laura came back to visit us after being gone for sooooooo long. We miss having them down the street but love it when we get to spend time with them. We hope you don't stay away for too long!

Grandpa Randy the Birthday Boy

Grandpa Randy came to visit us over his wedding anniversary and birthday week. In our family we take the birthday person breakfast in bed. On his birthday grandpa got to go with Trav to the hospital to observe a couple of surgeries. I guess you could call the rest of us party poopers because we didn't want to get out of bed before the sun to make breakfast before they left so... instead we had it waiting for him when he got home late in the morning. We had the fanciest decoration's this side of the Mississippi, too! Thanks for letting us share your birthday with you Grandpa Randy!

Inniswoods

We went to Innis woods metro park. There is a traveling bug exhibit at the park right now. The bugs are made of wood and very large. We didn't get a picture of the praying mantis but it was about twice my height. The garden is a lot of fun too. Everything in it is labeled. When we saw something that we liked we knew exactly what it was called. The heat eventually shoo-ed us away.

There was a fun miniature garden around a train set. We took a break and watched it for a while

Isaac and Theron had fun pretending to be ants crawling through an ant hill. They even pretended to be sleeping ants.

just for fun

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us. We did lots of fun things. They brought this fancy pinata with them "just for fun". Grandma couldn't get over how ugly the pinata was but the kids didn't seem to mind when Travis finally busted it open and the candy came pouring out.

Ohhh, Baby!
