PaPa and Grandmother's Visit (Part 2)

Every year, when our grandparents come down from KY, Bompa and Mamaw always come over for a day! That day came and went so fast, that we didn't even get a group photo/= But we had a wonderful time.


Serving up a delicious meal Farrah made us!

Lily Ann's blueberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream is THE BEST!
The boy's and Anna-Frances went out with our guests for breakfast! Apparently, the food was really good (Bronson restaurant, A&A) since my ears were talked off about it when they got home=)
Grandmother and PaPa, as well as Ms. Mary, Lily Ann, and I went out shopping and for lunch one day. It was so nice getting to spend the day with them!

The last day, PaPa and Grandmother took us to Silver Springs State Park!

We packed a picnic lunch, and headed that way!

Frankie smiling at me behind the camera...

This croc was about 8' long! It was a rare "treat" for us to see one up so close!

The weather could not have been more beautiful... There was a nice quiet picnic spot waiting for us.

After lunch, we went on the glass- bottom boat ride! That was a real treat... Thank you Grandmother and PaPa!

This is just what we looked like=)



This gar fish came up very close, so we all got a good look at it.


Find the gator!

It was so neat getting a 30 minute tour of so much of God's creation!

Frankie wasn't too sure though... he was having a hard time being patient for his next meal=)

These statues were put their purposely for a movie or something years back... but they were really neat!
Thanks to Ms. Mary, we got a group picture!




So after one week packed with fun, laughter, excitement, adventures and memories, we couldn't let it go... So we ran up through the trail, and blocked the road! Oh well, we just look forward to seeing them this summer, Lord willing!

PaPa and Grandmother's visit (Part One=)


Our grandparents and Ms. Mary (their friend), got in from KY on Tuesday night... We've been having a great visit, and they were thrilled to finally meet their newest grandson!
He was so smiley=)


 
Wednesday morning we took a walk...

It was just a bit chilly out, so Miss Francie had her big jacket on!

Thursday, PaPa and Daddy went golfing; we girls, Grandmother and Ms. Mary went out for lunch. We went to a little antique quilt shop/cafe place in Trenton. We had a great time!

This bird was funny to watch=)

There were SO many beautiful fabrics! The only bummer being they were SUPER expensive!=)

Thanks to the waitress, we got a picture at the table in the cafe. The lunch was great... Thank you Grandmother for treating us!

Having a yummy treat at the old fashioned Soda Fountain!

We look forward to the rest of our time with PaPa and Grandmother... More pictures to follow!

365/365

To close out 2015, our church had a New Year's Eve service. Several families got up and sang, and we had a wonderful time of fellowship until about 11:15! Our family sang Isaiah 53.
Happy New Year!
