Clinton Visit

Pictures will have to follow.
Amanda, Chad, Peyton, Garrison and Apollo arrived in Clinton in time for dinner Friday evening, 11/2/2012.   Great Grandma Mintun was at our house too where we all enjoyed baked chicken, mashed potatoes and brownies.  Garrison showed us his dance moves - quite entertaining.  He moves his upper body and arms and "taps" his right foot, up and down.  So funny.  Peyton told us all about her day at school, etc.

Saturday morning - bright and early - Amanda and Chad left for a day in Branson - Chad playing golf and Amanda meeting her friend, Tara, for a day of shopping and lunch.

That left us with a perfect day with Peyton and Garrison!  We picked up Grammaw early (at Peyton's request).  We played at home for a while before taking a trip to Lowry City to a farm of a friend of Grandpa's.  We saw goats and horses and lots of countryside.  Garrison took a nap after lunch while Peyton watched a movie, put together puzzles with Grammy as well as painting some pictures, etc.  She enjoyed dressing up as Cinderella most of the afternoon and playing pretend with Grammaw.

Later in the afternoon, we all jumped in the van to go to the playground at Henry Elementary School where Peyton loved climbing on the monkey bars, doing the teeter totter and making many trips down the slide.  Garrison giggled going down the slide with Grammy's assistance.

Then we went to the playground at our church where the kids had a great time swinging and going down the slides.  It was getting late and a bit cool, so we came on home to have dinner, baths and waiting for Mommy and Daddy to come home.

We were sad to see them all go home but understood they needed to get home for pictures the next day.  A great weekend!  Thanks for visiting, Todds!
