We have been waiting all summer for our visit with Nana and Papa. Unfortunately, they live in North Carolina, and we don't get to see them as often as we would like. They were taking a crazy cross-country trip from NC to Kentucky (to see Aunt Laura) to us to Mississippi and back to NC again! We are just glad we got to spend several days with them along their path.
The first night they stayed with us, we lost power for a few hours due to a lightning storm (although we did not even get a drop of rain out of it). During that time, A.J. got Papa to read him a Star Wars book by flashlight. The camera flash makes it look like it was bright in the room, but in reality, the flashlight was the only light.
A.J. was very quick to engage Nana in a Star Wars battle. It isn't very often we see Nana with a light saber, so a video was the thing to do!
One really fun thing Nana and I took the kids to do was to visit a place in Opelika called Frog Legs. It is one large warehouse type building with lots of inflatables. The kids had a great time running around and playing. Nana and I had a good time being in the air conditioning! Plus, they had a jewelry show going on for the moms in the place, so it was a special treat to get a new necklace (thank you Nana).
Papa spent most of his time with us building new columns for my front porch (which I love). As soon as they are painted, I will post pictures. Papa always does a great job helping us with projects around the house.
Throughout the few days they stayed with us, there was lots of time for loving! We can't wait to see them again in October for Abigail's birthday.
