We kept it simple, but fun, when Grandma Peggy came for a visit. My mom was worried about the temperature, but the weather ended up being perfect. Her trip was short (just a few days) and during her visit we managed to hit Six Flags and Sweet Tomatoes. Sweet Tomatoes is one of, if not her favorite, place she likes to eat. We seem to always end up there with all our out of town visitors. Lots and lots of good food to eat (buffet style).
We’re pro’s at Six Flags, so we knew exactly where we wanted to spend our time.
We watched the elephant show, swimming tigers, and the Killer Whale show
(during that show, Reggie and I wanted to go to the Thomas the Train exhibit. 
On our way there we got side tracked at the ice cream store and managed to suck it down before we met up with the rest of the clan). We had some pizza and after getting Reggie a Batman/Joker cape we headed home. The kids were toast and Grandma was a little worn out herself. One of the days we headed to Café Art where the kids got to pick out a glass figurine to paint. Then they are put into a kiln for a shiny finish. Ainsley managed to use every color she had over and over again. Not a lot of detail but hey it was fun for her. 
Reggie on the other hand decided to choose a robot to paint and was very particular about what colors he chose and how he painted it. The only disappointing factor that none of us realized was that you had to come back a couple of days later to get your “fired” peace of art. Reggie was crushed as he really wanted to take his art home that day. Some tears appeared but nothing a donut hole couldn’t fix. We hung out the rest of the time as the kids just wanted to play with their Grandma. Mom read them books, played basketball, went for bike rides, played games, and watched movies with the kids. Before we knew it, the weekend was here and gone and she flew out Monday afternoon. It will be good to see her during the summer as we’re heading back the first of July. Trina and the kids will be there for 5 weeks and I will visit on and off during that time.
