Chad had to work unexpectedly on Friday, so Grammy was the lucky winner to use his ticket with the family - I was thrilled! Mom and I traveled to Overland Park early Friday morning. She stayed with Apollo at the house while Amanda, the kids and I motored down to the Sprint Center for Disney on Ice. It was a great show, and we all had a fantastic time! Peyton picked out a Belle doll for her souvenier, and Garrison picked out a Mickey "spinner" which he absolutely loves. They both wanted snow cones in take-home cups and Peyton also got cotton candy. We were set for the show to start which did not disappoint. Great tickets - just a few rows up from the ice center stage.
After the show, we went to Fritz's for lunch where you order over the phone and the food is delivered to your table on a train - the track is overhead. Fun for all.
We were fortunate enough to get to bring Peyton and Garrison back to Clinton with us for the weekend. We had chicken pot pie for dinner and had a fun time playing before bedtime.
Saturday morning we watched the movie, Frozen, which the kids had brought with them. They had already seen it several times, but we enjoyed it, and they didn't seem to mind watching it again. Grammaw watched it too! We played dress up, painted, made jigglers, went to a bounce house at Family Video and got to pet a horse, baked cookies, played outside on the slide, went to the pond to look for frogs, played on the concrete wall over by the pond on #17, etc.
Amanda joined in the fun, meeting us at McDonald's for lunch on Saturday. After lunch while Grandpa, Grammaw and Garrison took a nap, Amanda, Peyton and I went to Walmart. Amanda needed to wear one of her old prom dresses for a birthday party coming up for a friend, so we had a fashion show, and Peyton joined in the fun. I altered one of them a bit for her so she could have fun playing dress up in it - she had a blast. See picture. We had meatballs and rice for dinner, then we took Grammaw home before going to the 4-H Carnival. Peyton and Garrison both won a cake during the cake walk - they were thrilled. They played several other carnival fun games for a fun evening.
On Sunday, Grammaw came over early, and we had fun playing. Grammaw and Peyton built a fort in the front bedroom and took a pretend nap in it. See picture. We had baked chicken and mashed potatoes for lunch. Played outside again and back to check out the frogs and the concrete wall.
The time went too quickly - as usual - and Amanda and the kids left for Overland Park around 3 p.m. Another wonderful weekend with priceless memories. We are blessed.
