NANA & POP CAME TO VISIT!!!
We had lots of fun while they were here! Thank you Nana and Pop for taking your vacation time to come and spend it with us.
First things first - we ate. Nana & Pop arrived around 12:30 pm on Tuesday last week. So, lunch was ready! The menu included, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, knot rolls and Texas sheet cake! These are all my dad's favorites! My mom loves these too, but you cannot make my mom any happier than to make my dad happy. And nothing makes him any happier than yummy food.
(The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree!)
Second on the agenda - Hannah and Cari provide pedicures (minus the polish) for the weary travelers.
Next, we took a tourist ride. We visited all the main attractions here - The WOL Family Campground, WOL Headquarters, WOL Bible Institute, Schroon Lake, WOL Inn and finally took a turn towards Ticonderoga. It was a bit foggy, but the mountains are beautiful - even in the fog.
Next on the agenda were homemade bird feeders. This was one of Hannah and Cari's sience projects - observation of one of God's wonderous creations - birds. Pop helped them make their bird feeders. I am glad Pop told us that it would take a while for the birds to figure out that there was food in them. We are still waiting on the birds to come.
Next was play time. Pop took the girls on a walk. Hannah came racing in the house and started trying to tell me they found a snake, inbetween each breath. Nana & I saw Cari getting on her bike and Nana immediately knew what Cari was thinking. She was planning to run over the snake with her bike! Nana was telling her to stop. We saw Pop making her stop. Then we saw Pop throwing stones at the snake trying to get it to move. Hannah took this picture of it. I asked her why she was so close. She said, "Well, Pop wouldn't let me get close so I had to zoom it as far as it would go!"
Next, we celebrated Cari's birthday a little early. We were excited that Nana & Pop were here to celebrate with us.
The next morning, we were still having fun with the balloons - well some of us were.
Next, Michael took us for a ride up to Lake Placid. The drive is just breathtaking. All of the beautiful mountains, lakes, ponds, rivers and creeks are beautiful.
Then, we said our goodbyes Saturday morning.
We were blessed by their visit and were very happy that they came, but were sad to see them go.
Thank you for coming to visit us, we love you and miss you!
