A Week of Fun with Papa!

My dad was here this week for a short visit with the kids and I was fully prepared to make it as action-packed as possible. We took the kids to a local downtown area one day and fed the ducks and ate ice cream. We also visited a store specializing in rustic decor that I almost had to drag Tyler out of. He wants this bear for his room.

We also went to a county fair and saw the animals. Tyler rode the same car ride over and over again and Mia rode a carousel horse for the first time. The highlight of the fair for the kids - funnel cake and deep-fried oreos. I tell you that if you have never had deep-fried oreos you don't know what you are missing.

Here is Tyler with his new Spiderman umbrella from Grammy.

Love the fake smile.

My dad and I spent a great deal of time hitting all the nurseries in the area and buying the saddest looking plants and trees on clearance. I need quantity not quality at this point because I have an 1.5 acres to landscape. It's amazing with a little water and fertilizer how great everything is coming back. I will post some pictures later this week.
