Easter Weekend at Grandma's

11 months ago we made a trip to Richmond to see Grandma, and we brought the lovely daycare stomach bug with us, so it took us awhile to get up the nerve to go at it again but it was Easter and we were way overdue for a visit. He was an Angel on the way down since we left at his bedtime, and he slept the whole way. Bonus for Ryan and I since NCAA basketball was streaming live on the radio. Grandma had quite the set up for him everything from his favorite Eggo waffles to my old fisher price animal farm that was quite the toy highlight.



On Saturday, we went to the big park in Richmond called Maymont for Easter Day. Grayson had a blast blowing bubbles, running around, and playing with his ball. Everything was going great until I took him into the children's farm area to feed sheep and pet the goats.
Why the distress you say, well he is going through this clean hands phase right now, and it takes about 10 wipes per meal so you can visualize what happened when I took his hand to pet the animals. He looked at his hand with major disgust then looked at me like "How could you do this to me". So I lose Mother of the Year award but what I am thinking is "If this clean thing could carry over to the tornado of toys in the house at all times we would be set."
Easter Sunday, we got up and Grayson did a Easter Egg Hunt around the house, and he quickly got the concept and loved putting in eggs in and out. Please admire the basket since it is Pottery Barn, and it is the only item I have ever bid and won on ebay. The only snafu was the decision to rush around to get to the 8:30 church service, and at 8:30 we were pulling out of the driveway with a screaming little man in the back seat so we pulled right back in and decided to go to the 9:45 service. We then preceded to put Baby Einstein on for 1/2 hour in order to restore the sanity.
The next trip out to church went smoothly, it was a great service and Grayson had fun playing with the different toys at the nursery.
All in All, we had a great weekend and very blessed that we could be together. Super thanks so Grandma Cheryl.
