Grandma and Papa came to Denver for Mason's birthday party. He had such a good time getting to know them a little, and them getting to know him a little. Grandma was the story teller and Papa was the raspberry picker. Makes me wish, even more than I already do, that we lived closer. Ugh, I hate being so far away!!
At least we have SOME proof that we made it, even if we didn't get to stay. Maybe next summer. Maybe we'll do a trial run in the back yard!!
Today we took Mason up to check out Tiny Town. We had breakfast at Gunther Toodies, and then hit the road. He wasn't too thrilled with dinner last night, so I guess he made up those lost calories with breakfast. Silly kid!
Whenever I can't seem to find Mason, he's almost always either under the kitchen table, with books or toys or whatever, or in his room, with damn near every book off his book shelf, surrounded with blanky and books. Silly boy - what can I say - he likes to read!! I love it!
Someone mentioned that the fair was in town, and that it wasn't far from our house. So Friday night when Chris got home, we packed up Mason in the car and headed off. There was a 4H barn with a ton of animals that we got to pet. One of the goats kept licking my leg. I was worried he was going to get tired of licking and chomp down, but he behaved. Mason really enjoyed seeing all the animals, especially the moo cows and the goats. On our way out, he and dad shared a deep fried twinkie. And yes, for those of you wondering, it is as gross as it sounds. But, they loved it!! Maybe next year we'll even brave a ride or two.
We've had a nice, long holiday weekend around here. Friday night, we took a bucket of KFC up to a local park that has some fun water features and let Mason run around. He had a good time playing and running with the other kids. He was quite upset when we finally left.
