A Visit From Nana and Papa

Nana and Papa came up for a visit this past week, arriving on Saturday. While it had not been long since Logan had seen them, he still had a bit of the “stranger danger” mentality right when they first arrived. However, he got over it very quickly and was enjoying rolling around on the floor and playing with them both before he went to bed that first night.

After seeing the pictures of Logan in his baby pool, Papa really wanted a chance to get into the pool with his grandson. On Sunday, I filled up the pool in the morning so that it had time to warm up. By late afternoon it was like bath water and Logan, Daddy, and Papa hopped in. Logan loves his baby pool.

Monday was spent around the house which was good for Logan because it meant more down time with his grandparents.

Since Logan is now eating solid foods, Nana got a chance to feed him.

More, Papa!

On Tuesday we all piled into the car and headed to the local farm where Momma buys her produce when it is in season. They have a little area of farm animals to pet that I wanted to take Logan to. He first got to look at bunnies in cages.

The bunnies were not real exciting.

Then he got to look at pigs. They were a little more amusing than the bunnies because they rolled around like Rocky does after he eats.

Next were the cows who were boring because all they did was lay there and swat away flies with their ears and tails.

Last were the goats. We all thought one was pregnant and about to give birth due to her size. After a quick look, Daddy realized that the male goat was just fat. American goats!

After a stop into the farm store to pick up some goodies, including homemade strawberry and peach ice cream, we headed home for naps (for Logan, Nana and Papa). Nana's favorite restaurant in the area is Margaritas so we made the trip into town for dinner. While Logan has been out to lunch many times, this was his first time going out to dinner. He did pretty well, but I do not see too many dinners out in the near future.

Overall it was a great visit. Living so far away from family can be hard, especially when we really want Logan to know his extended family. Trips like this one give him the quality time he needs with his grandparents. Thanks for a great time, Nana and Papa!
