Weekend Visitors

Grandma and Grandpap Carson came for a visit! We practiced all week long trying to get Eli to say Grandma and Grandpap. By the time Friday rolled around, Eli would say, "Meh-Maw" for Grandma and beat his chest twice for PapPap. Who knows where that chest thump came from???? He stumped us with that one, but it is still pretty cute.


You know Grandpap's around when bottlecaps end up on your forehead!


And you know Grandma's around when Eli gets to try all kinds of new foods and new toys! She spoils him (in a good way!) :)

Friday night, we enjoyed the company and a yummy marsala dinner full of all kinds of spices...

(sorry for the pic of the spices, but it looked too neat to not share!)

Saturday, we headed out to the Jr. Museum again since we had such fun the last time we went. The brief rain right after Eli's nap almost scared us off, but we persevered....and we're glad we did. It was another fantastic time.

Eli got so excited to see the sheep up close. He immediately started waving hello!


We had to watch him, Eli was fearless around the animals!

But it was Grandma who actually got "goosed" by a goose! That crazy goose stuck his head through the fence and bit her shirt!! Too bad we didn't get that on any cameras! :) It was too funny!

After getting a little scared by the cow sticking his head through the fence...Eli warmed up and decided it was ok to pet its nose.


We had another great time! Matt and I ended up buying the family pass and have plans to return this summer...when the guest animal will be....Patas MONKEYS! Our little monkey will see real live monkeys!

After a delicious dinner at Ted's, we relaxed that evening. Sunday was filled with more quality time and play time. Eli was very sad to see the Grandparents leave. We can't wait for the next visit.
