Papa's Visit

My dad came to visit us from August 31st until September 4th. All of us eagerly anticipated his arrival. Before he arrived, the kids made a list of things that they wanted to do with him. Papa's visit was short, but we got much in.

Of course, the kids put blueberry pancakes on their list of things to do with my dad. They love it when he makes them blueberry pancakes. Also, on the list was to go and eat lunch with Hyrum at his school, but I didn't take any pictures of that. Hyrum LOVES it when people come and have lunch with him at school.

Another item on the list was Chuck E. Cheese. The kids really enjoy spending time there.We even checked Hyrum out early to take him to lunch one of the days Papa was here. We even checked ice cream off the list since we had some Frosties at Wendy's. Papa spoiled us all and got everyone their very own frosty.After lunch, we headed to the Children's Museum (since it was on the list). Like always, the kids had a great time at the Children's Museum.Another item on the list was to go fishing with Papa. We have some small ponds by our house that supposedly have fish in them (we have only caught moss so far). The kids were very excited to take their Papa fishing.
Papa spoiled us while we were here. We enjoyed eating at Central (a Memphis BBQ place) and Cici's pizza. The kids were so excited to go to Cici's.

Of course my dad played many games while he was here. My kids LOVE it when Papa plays games with them.The kids were very excited to give my dad some early birthday presents. His birthday isn't until the end of September, but the kids love to hand out presents so we got to celebrate a little early.While Papa was here, we took him to our favorite donut shop. The kids love to have donuts!It wasn't on the list, but the kids were so excited to ride bikes around the neighborhood with my dad. They kept telling my dad that he could borrow Brandon's bike. Finally, they went on a bike ride and loved it. Don't let Ben's frown fool you, he was sad he didn't get to stand where he wanted to on one of the sides of my dad.We weren't able to check everything off the list, but that is okay since my parents will be here soon to help when I have baby number four (we haven't decided on a name yet). We will finish the rest of our list when they come.

We loved having Papa come and visit. We were so pleased that he would take time out of his busy schedule to come and spend time with us. We love our Papa!!
