wednesday's words and wandering and wonderings

The weekend...wow!

What a fun, busy weekend with Andrew, Owen, and Hallie! Jennifer was at a bachelorette party so Andrew road tripped with the kids to hang out with Didi and Grandpa.

We met Andrew in Columbus at Krispie Kreme Donuts and what good luck to get there when the "Hot Light" was on. Glazed donuts traveled along the conveyor belt and with our purchase we received a few donuts fresh off the line. Owen was very happy with his donut "lunch" and intently watched the donuts as they went through the various stages of production.

"That's a lot of donuts!" ~ Owen

The splash pad at RiverScape was a big hit. The squeals of surprise and joy as Owen ran through the spurts made us feel like kids again.

Many thanks to Andrew's friend Taylor who brought the tractor to the farm stand on our visit to Treadway Gardens. What's the first thing Owen found when he climbed onto the tractor? The horn. It's in good working order.

Then there was Baconfest at the Fraze, visits from Uncle P-House and Aunt Kelsey, friends Brad and Maverick, running through Grandpa's sprinkler, finding the toys that Andrew and his sibs played with when they were little, reading so, so many books. Andrew and the kiddos left on Sunday and Monday morning the house was TOO QUIET! Our 45th anniversary fell amidst all this happiness and exuberance and hurry-flurry activity. We are blessed.
