Visit with Papa

Grady, Gwen and I decided to take a road trip to Papa's. We got to spend a lot of quality time with Grandma and Papa. The kids did great. As my dad said they are either 100% or asleep, there is not much in between. They did great in the car. At night time, Gwen pretty much crawled in her tent, begging to go to sleep and Grady let out a cry or two and passed out. To be honest, we were all exhausted by the end of the day. I was a little nervous taking a trip by myself with the twins, but Grandma and Papa helped out a lot. We had a jam packed 48 hours including a few parks, multiple meals out, the zoo and the Memphis Kiddie Park.

Having a snack at Papa's

Grady loved looking out Papa's window at birds, lawn mowers and motorcycles.

Train ride! Gwen was there, my arm just could not reach far enough to get her!


Grady is a little unsure of this train.

We did not even make it out of the zoo parking lot and Grady was already passed out.

Grady and Gwen ran into their friend Gina at the Memphis Kiddie Park, small world.

Gwen was not too sure about the car ride, I think she was willing to jump for her life.

The boat ride was a hit, Grady even went on again by himself.

Gina and Grady handing on for their lives!

Sand, yes please!

I am not sure who had more fun, Grady or Papa?

Grady is a little unsure of having another woman this close. By the end they were holding hands and kissing each other good bye.

Grady really enjoyed his spaghetti dinner. After figuring out the penne noodle fit perfectly on his finger, there was no more food entering his belly!



Thank you Papa for letting us stay at your place! We had a wonderful time and cannot wait to do it again. Now I must go to sleep to recover!
