H2O Slide + Cool Cousins = FUN!!!

While at Uncle Gavin and Aunt Becki's house we had lots of fun! We ate Becki's super yummy cinnamon and orange rolls, and the kids played on the H2O Slide. Isaac loved it, but Briana, who is usually the more adventurous one, hated it.

Uncle Brian & the School Bus

Uncle Brian took the kids for a ride on the school bus that he is driving. They thought it was pretty cool. I am glad that Isaac liked it b/c he will ride the bus home from school every day.

Hogle Zoo

We went with Nana and her foster kids to the zoo. I took hardly any pictures, but I HAD to get some of the kids drinking out of the lion drinking fountains that they have had there since I can remember.

Papa & Nana's Farmhouse

We spent the last leg of our trip at Papa & Nana's Farmhouse. Isaac informed me that it still is Papa & Nana's even though Papa died and lives with Jesus. He really enjoyed the swings that hang from the old trees. We haven't been down here in over 3 years, and he is big enough to swing on them. Briana is not quite big enough yet.

Papa's Lettuce

Let me tell you the story of the lettuce.

Nana said that last year when her and Papa were planting their garden they decided to grow some lettuce. Well, Papa opened the package of seeds and dumped some of them into the ground. The wind picked up just then and blew the seeds away. He went in and told Nana that he was sorry, but the wind picked up and blew the seeds away.

Well this past March Papa passed away. As the weather got nicer and things started to bloom Nana was wondering what weeds were growing so fast along her driveway on the side of the house (the opposite side of the garden mind you). She soon realized that it was lettuce and not weeds that were growing. The lettuce that they thought was lost had planted in various places around the backyard as well as in the garden. She feels as though it is Papa saying to her "Hey! I'm still here!!"

Papa's Headstone

We walked out to the Fairview City Cemetery to see Papa's newly placed headstone. I think a part of it all really sunk in for me seeing the stone. Nana did a great job with it. Papa loved camping, fishing and hunting. He would be pleased!
