Grandpa Craig is Here! PART ONE

With Mama out of town for a few days, Papa Craig came into town to help Dada manage the Sam Man. The help is definitely warranted as he's so quick you need to have at least 4 eyes on him at all times. During the weekdays it was business as usual and there wasn't enough Sam time. When the weekend rolled around, it was full time Sam! To keep him busy, we scheduled a full slate of activities. Saturday started with soccer practice (in post 2) followed by a nap. Then after lunch we headed to the Zoo. That tuckered him out and he was zonked right after we got into the car to head home.

Sunday was a great day too. Sam played outside in the morning and we headed to Matt and Corrie's for a pool BBQ in the pm.

Of course, Sam (and Dad) missed Mom tons while she was gone. She's back now and we can't wait to see how excited Sam is to see Mama.

Sam's sunflowers finally bloomed! This one has an 8' stalk.

After dinner at Endolyne Joe's, Sam and Papa say hi to a local dog.

Sam gets down to get a better view.

Prior to finding the petting zoo area, Sam had to reach to touch a goat ear.

He was so happy he did a jig on the grate.

...need...to be...taller!

Petting goats is fun!

Not pictured, the girl Sam was trying to impress.

He got a kick out of petting the goats.
