Fun with Gammie & Gampaw

Today, after church, I took the boys to Bardstown so we could see Gammie and Gampaw.

The boys had an absolutely WONDERFUL time playing with Gammie.
Glenn was trying to get Gammie with the bubbles (I can't remember his exact words, but something was said about bubbles all over her head) while Sean was using Gammie's legs/pants as support while standing on a basketball.


I think Gammie enjoyed herself, too. ;)

(Sean's standing on the ball here - notice the grip he's got on her pants)

2010 State Fair

The Mules & Jacks are my favorite animals, so I'm glad we got to see them this year (last year, we went after they'd already gone home.) Glenn actually pet almost as many of them as I did.

I'm not usually a big fan of clowns, but Sean was crazy about the shoes this guy was wearing!
Cool dude
Lots o' balloons, and they weren't even finished yet.

This was my absolute favorite cake. I love Starry Night, and to see it in cake form is even better!
My favorite in the woodcarving display.
This is by my almost-uncle, Bobby. He always has a piece of work in the fair, and I really like this year's.

Farmer Glenn!



The only way anybody in our family was going to see the Border Collie show...
Sean's shoes do not feel good on the skin. (And he wasn't digging the view from Daddy's shoulders, either, so that didn't help.)

Another good day at the fair!

4th of July Weekend - Winchester & Lexington

Every 4th of July weekend, Scott runs the Bluegrass 10k, in Lexington, and we usually spend the night before with his parents in Winchester.

On Friday, after dinner with the fam, including an aunt & cousin, we returned to Granna & Pada's house, where Glenn quickly found the bag o' toys.
Scott & Mom chatting in the kitchen
Time for bed!
Getting comfortable
Contemplating
Ahhh... (Sean actually slept in the spare bedroom with me. Scott & Glenn slept on the sofas)
At the festival, after the race.

Glenn's first project was a sand-filled moon
Simon filled a football
Sean was entertaining Pada
until he noticed the camera close by. Or maybe it was Daddy, who could free him from the stroller...
The finished product
Glenn, being Glenn
Riding a "train"
And his first pirate ship ride, ever! (I convinced Ethan to ride with him, so he wouldn't be scared... it wasn't necessary, tho. My boy was brave!)
After a successful ride, Glenn got a "pirate patch"

Hangin' with Gammie

Literally!
