June 27-28, 2014
What a fantastic 24 hours! Amanda/family arrived in Clinton around 7 p.m. on Friday night and the fun began! There wasn't much time before bedtime, but we squeezed in a little fun Friday night along with snacks and watching Caillou.
Saturday morning started early (6 a.m.) with a trip to get Grammaw and a visit to the Donut Palace by Grandpa, Peyton and Garrison (Peyton went in her nightgown - too funny). We all enjoyed some delicious donuts for breakfast, and then Grammaw, Grammy and the little people took a nature walk over to the little pond/lake by #6 and #7 to see the geese and goslings swimming around. After we returned home, we grabbed Mommy and we all went to our church playground to check out the new playground equipment and to enjoy the swings, slides and monkey bars - Peyton now has them mastered and went over them like a pro at least 6 times without assistance. (before any of that, I forgot that Merle stopped by for a little visit before joining Chad and Ron for a golf tournament. We came home and had some play time including the bubble snake blowers that Grammy made from Pinterest. They were fun, but we forgot to stress how important it was not to breathe in, and Peyton sucked in some bubbles which made her sick. We'll use bigger bottles next time. We had a light lunch before Garrison took his nap, and Grammy and Peyton made dessert kabobs with strawberries, pound cake, marshmallows and almond bark frosting. We played outside later in the afternoon - hard darts - and playing on the slide. It was a rainy, but cooler day.
The guys won the golf tournament and were rained on throughout the day. They donated their winnings back to the sponsors of the tournament.
We had a delicious ham dinner including fresh green beans that Grammaw cooked in the crockpot and honeymoon potatoes - homemade rolls - yummo - and of course, our kabobs! Peyton was so proud to pass out her dessert.
Visit was fantastic but too short - the kids went home after dinner to have Sunday as a family day (totally understandable) - but, the good news is, they will be back for Olde Glory Days either Wednesday evening or Thursday morning - can't wait!!!!!
Our new minister will begin his service tomorrow - anxious to meet him.
Great week - we are blessed.
