dans bro dave came into town friday night for a wedding, so he and dan were able to catch up and go have some drinks together. he left early saturday a.m.
dan's mom also arrived to spend the long weekend with us.
saturday we took a 15 mile bike ride. g loves his little bike cart.
we rode to the chain of lakes and had a nice picnic at calhoun
next stop was going to the trolley. g loves this thing. he wanted to wait and watch it go by a few times.
this guy really likes his job. very intense about the history of the street cars.
saturday night was spent having dinner out, bookstore and stopping at some other stores.
sunday we got up early and went to the state fair. griffin really loved going on the rides.
he did the ferris wheel with grandma...
he rode the swings and really loved that. (big difference from last year where he cried the entire time until the guy stopped it)
here dan and griffin are standing on the seating structure dan helped build during grad school.
we rode the sky ride thing..
and dan and lynne both went down the "giant slide" with g.
griffin is super excited and amazed while going up the space needle tower
view of the city from the top..
the man posing in front of his favorite ride...
griffin was NOT a fan of the farm.
but he was a fan of the sweet marthas cookies.
a great time at the fair had by all. we saw a pig being born, we ate tator tots on sticks, we met up with some friends and had fun people watching. my only regret at the fair this year is i didn't get to see the butter faces. oh well...next year.
sunday night we went to friends phil and jes' house for a bbq and drinks. g and grandma lynne came for awhile, then headed home for more fun things, like watching diego and using the potty.
dan and i stayed and hung with friends, grilled out, drank beer and got a cab ride home by a cabbie that was drinking. gee - i thought calling a cab was the responsible thing to do..apparently not.
monday we were sad to see grandma go. we bid her farewell, then ran errands, cleaned, played and congratulated griffin for his great work on the potty all weekend.
he is now peeing on the toilet each time and hasn't had an accident. as soon as he figures out the numeral dos, we will be high livin.
