Sam, Emma, and I took a trip out of town last weekend for a quick visit with Gigi, Dodo, and the Great Grandparents on the Pfister side. We tried to squeeze as much activity into a short amount of time as possible.
Saturday we went to Sam's soccer game, then flew to Nashville, then to the Vanderbilt football game. We survived the flight... Sam was great. Sam loved the football game although I don't think he watched the game at all. He enjoyed climbing on the bleachers, eating snacks, watching parachuters land on the field, and the band. He was pretending that the bleachers were a piano and playing along with the band at one point.
Sunday, We drove up to Indianapolis to visit Grandan and Grandma Chris. They were originally going to drive down, but Grandan was put on oxygen and couldn't make the trip. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in June and is dealing with the effects of the radiation treatment. Pray for his rest, comfort, and recovery. I am so glad we were able to go see them! Before we left we spent a few minutes by the fire, then breakfast at Pancake Pantry, drove the five hours during nap time, and enjoyed the evening with the family.
Samuel's pulpit, of course...
We always play Rumikub at Grandan's house. We never played this visit, but the kids enjoyed the tiles.
Playing church with Grandan's portable oxygen cart as the pulpit...
Playing peek-a-boo at the table with the white tablecloth...
Sleepy girl...
The hobby horse was a hit...
Showing Grandan how the Ipad works...
Samuel decided to just randomly take his shirt off and climb up on the bench.
Anything to keep her quiet on the way home Monday...
Tuesday morning we went to three different walk in clinics before finding one that would take a 10 month old with an ear infection. Then went to visit Great Grandma, did some shopping with Gigi, and packed for our flight the next morning.
Sam found a candy bar in Grandma's walker and Emma enjoyed pushing the walker around.
It was a very busy trip, but enjoyable too. Thanks for hosting us Gigi, Dodo, Grandan and Grandma Chris!
