Both Peyton and Garrison were happy to see us when we arrived at school, but especially Peyton. As always, she talked all the way home. Garrison rode quietly and smiled occasionally. We stopped at McDonald's to pick up dinner, and the fun began.
After playing, Garrison took a bath, and Peyton decided she wanted to shower instead. She did a good job of washing her own hair and felt like a big girl showering instead of taking a bath.
Peyton and Grammy slept in the bed downstairs to be close to Garrison, and all had a good night.
Saturday morning, Peyton wanted Grammaw to come over bright and early, so Grandpa went to pick her up before he went to play in the Golden Valley Memorial Hospital Auxillary Hospital golf tournament.
Grammy, Grammaw, Peyton and Garrison went to the Benson Center for the Henry County Fair Baby Show - Garrison was still under 24 months (by a few days). As they started with the 0-3 month old babies, he had to wait an hour and a half before his class, and he and Peyton both did really well sitting still and enduring the time. Garrison received 2nd place and a ribbon. The other baby wasn't as cute, but Garrison was "done" and was pretty somber and didn't smile - the other kid was giggly and all over the place. Anyway, we were all very proud of him and proud of his 2nd place ribbon. He is very, very adorable.
Peyton was a great big sister and went up on stage with us to encourage him and lend her support. Grammaw was a great help in the whole process.
After we came home and had a quick lunch, Garrison went down for his nap. We played with Peyton, including modeling clay, pretend birthday parties, dress up, etc. After Garrison got up, we played outside on the slide and in the wading pool. The kids had a great time sliding into the water and running in the sprinkler too.
On Sunday, Peyton again wanted Grammaw to come over early, so Grandpa went to get her so they could play and visit before we went to church. The kids were great at church, and we all had donuts afterward and visited with our friends at church.
We had a quick visit to Grammaw's before traveling back to Overland Park to take Peyton and Garrison home. We had a great day with Amanda and the kids in Overland Park. Peyton, Amanda and Grammy went to Hallmark and Costco while Garrison and Grandpa napped. We had a great time playing before coming back to Clinton. Chad was playing in a golf tournament.
Great family memories.
