After school on Friday, we'd signed up to harvest the Maple Glen garden.
The kids were pretty excited for about 90 seconds and then left the "harvesting" to me while they ran around to explore the garden.
Then we drove towards Tipton to meet up with Auntie Kate and Ryan. We all piled into this fun contraption and headed to Pork Fest!
The kids loved riding through town.
And their sno-cones!
They got to fish!
And play basketball!
All of us were stuffed, happy campers on the way home!
We woke up to rain on Saturday morning but that didn't stop us from venturing out. We hit up the local Donut Shop.
Then ran our 3-pound harvest to Open Doors - Phoebe's school donates all the produce from their garden to a local food pantry.
Gryphon went with us everywhere - the Farmer's Market and then to pick up a new collar at the pet store. Not sure he loved all the handling while we rode around but the kids sure did.
Someone sure loves belly rubs!
Despite the rain, we headed to Grand Park for cheer squad pictures. These girls have become fast friends in just three weeks!
The rain cleared up in time for the 1:30 game and the girls did really great till about half-time. Their attention spans just don't last long enough for a 90 minute game!
Saturday evening, we hit a local pizza shop with YiaYia and Papou, Uncle Steve and Bevin, Auntie Kate and our crew. Phoebe got to sport Uncle Steve's sunglasses and thought she was hot stuff.
Then we took a short hike to help digest our dinner!
We stopped to explore an old cemetery from the 1700's that was on the trail and then let the kiddos burn off the remaining energy at the playground before heading home.
Sunday after church we celebrated YiaYia's 64th birthday.
When we went to bed Sunday night, I asked Phoebe what her favorite part of the day was and she answered, "Playing with Gryphon!" When I asked her the same question on Monday, she said, "Missing Gryphon!" I think a puppy may be nearer in our future than I'd anticipated!
Wishing YiaYia the best year yet!
