We spent an extra-long Memorial Day weekend visiting the grandparents in Michigan. Out of the 5 days we were there, we took 4 trips downtown for dinner, ice cream, shopping, etc. This year, they have gorgeous little statues of various animals out in front of all the shops ... monkeys, tigers, lions, ostriches, llamas, elephants, hippos. Tanner LOVED them and just couldn't get enough!! Just wait until we take him to the REAL zoo this year! (Although he may be a little dissapointed that he can't just hop up onto all the animals!)
We had an awesome weekend and once again, all of the grandparents proved themselves to be truly amazing! You must know that Tanner is the first grandchild on both sides, and is at an age where he loves to be entertained. My brother, who just returned home from West Point for a few weeks, marveled at how everyone makes it their mission to make Tanner "happy" while he is there. (Silly Eric, with three older sisters, he must realize that we did that same for him when he was little!)
Some of the highlights from our weekend:
- Two trips to the beach -- one with Aunt Kat and Grandpa Hall and another with the Grandmas
- A short shopping trip with my sister while Grandpa H babysat. It was hilarious how we would go through the racks of so many random clothes and end up with all the same things in our carts!
- A wedding shower for our dear friend, Catherine K.
- Watching Tanner ride around on the new second-hand power-wheels that we just got him. Thank you, Poppy and Grammy, for fixing it up for us!
- A dinner date with Jon to our favorite winery!! (and being able to have a few glasses!!)
We were entertained the entire time, from start to finish and we loved every second of it! By Saturday, I think Tanner was ready to drop out of sheer exhaustion! Thank goodness for the long nap he took out on Poppy's boat while the guys fished! Landon was a little angel-baby and enjoyed lots of snuggles and kisses from everyone! We can't wait to head back in a few weeks!
