Overnight Visit and Deanna Rose - April 2013

We had a fantastic weekend.  On Friday, Great Grandma Mintun and Grammy traveled to Overland Park to pick up Peyton and Garrison at school and brought them back to Clinton for an overnight visit.  We started with dinner outside (courtesy of take-out McDonald's).  Afterward, we played and played on the slide, bubbles and pop-its.  It was such a pretty day.  Peyton and Grammy slept downstairs in the bedroom next to where Garrison slept in his crib.  Always a treat.

Saturday morning, Peyton wanted to go get Great Grandma at 6:15 a.m., but we put her off until 7 a.m.  Grammaw brought chocolate pudding with her - always a hit.  Grandpa had to work.  We had a great morning playing, helping Garrison to learn to ride his tricycle (not too successful), baking cookies, making mints (an early Mother's Day gift for Momma).  Ice cream cones were a hit.

Grandpa and Grammy took the kids home mid-afternoon on Saturday.  We had Oklahoma Joe's BBQ for dinner in OP - a meal again held outside (Peyton's favorite) on their new patio which is beautiful.  More bubbles and fun outside before Grandpa and Grammy returned to Clinton.

On Sunday, since Chad was playing in a golf tournament, Grandpa and Grammy traveled back to Overland Park to spend the day with Amanda and the little people.  Immediately upon arrival, we got the kids changed out of their church clothes, and we all went to Deanna Rose Children's Farm for fun with the animals, a pony ride for Peyton and play on the playground.  Giggles galore. We had a great day of laughs and play.  Peyton and Grammy gave Peyton's Barbie Car a good spring cleaning - and Grandpa and Grammy walked along with her as she drove to the culdesac.
