Grandma Peggy’s visit!

We headed off to the airport bright and early on Friday morning and the stars were aligned…..no traffic at 8 in the morning??? I think lots of people were taking 4 day weekends :o). We hung out most of Friday. Grandma read and read and read! We did go to our favorite place to eat Friday night, Sweet Tomatoes. It is an all you can eat soup and salad restaurant and we all left nice and full.
Sat. we went to Six Flags and froze! It was windy and chilly. We were somewhat prepared, but left a little early because it was freezing :o(. It was a bit crazy because of the 3-day weekend, so we didn’t get exploring until 4 o’clock and most of the animal shows were over. The sea lion show was at 5, so we decided to check it out and it was so much fun. Everyone loved it. Then, we went on a few rides (Reggie's first time on Harold the Helicopter and he loved it! He's been too nervous in the past) and saw the parade with batman and his batmobile.
Reggie has been wanting a stuffed snake for a couple years and Grandma did what Grandma’s do and let him get one :o). He had to do the strong man hit and he almost set the bell off, but not quite. He was guaranteed a prize, so he got his snake and one for Ainsley too.

Sunday was pretty mellow, church and just hanging out. Ryan and I went golfing and then to a movie. We saw Angels and Demons and it was really good. It is always nice when just the two of us can hang out. Reggie and Ainsley were having lots of fun, watching cartoons and bowling on the WII (and I think having a little ice cream treat!).
Ryan took Peggy to the airport early this morning and Reggie and I decided to go through his toys and donate some and he’s going to sell some on Craigslist to buy new toys. We’ll see how that goes! He is REALLY into crafts and I thought it would be nice to move the kid table and some art supplies into his room, so he can do something he really likes during quiet time (which I’ve extended to 1 ½ hours). Last week he made a book about Buzz and Zurg :o). It will be fun to see what creations he comes up with.
Tonight, Grandma Pam is coming for dinner and she’ll stay until tomorrow :o).
