Grandpa's visit











Grandpa came to visit Avery this past weekend and all of us had so much fun. Grandpa brought Avery a new wagon and we took several walks in it. He also took Avery on his first visit to the zoo in Springfield, MO. Avery seemed more interested in watching the people than the animals, however. We grilled porkburgers, played the Wii, ate at Braum's, went to the park, walked around an art exhibit downtown and had fun playing with the box the wagon came in. The last day Grandpa was here, he treated us to Subway. Much to his mommy's surprise, Avery showed Grandpa how he could drink through a juice box straw. After Grandpa left, we found out that he had taught Avery some new tricks. Most notably, the phrase "uh,...oohhh" to announce that he has or is about to do something naughty. He also puckers his lips to make the "ooohh" sound, such as "home" from his "10 Little Ladybugs" book. Thanks for the fun time, Grandpa!
