Surprise Visitor

We had a surprise visitor last weekend.   And his name begins with G.   GRANDADDY!!!   On Friday morning I called to set up a visit, and by 3 pm he called to say he was on the road : )   There are so many reasons we love our Grandaddy, but the way he enjoys us and our kids (in a crazy out of the box way) is at the top.   There's not too many that would hop in a car on a whim, with out looking back, and drive 8 hours to spend less than 48 hours with us.   Not that y'all don't love us, don't hear me say that.   This is the "crazy out the box way" that only our Grandaddy can do.  It plays against my "planned is better" mentality, but we (pretty much) ALWAYS have a good time.

We started the weekend with a walk to Dunkin Donuts (which Eli calls D for Donuts).  After pumping us up with sugar we headed to Todd's office to see where the reason for all of this takes place.   This was the first time the kids and I had seen it.  (I don't think the kids have EVER seen where he works, so this was a treat.)

 After we had enough fun at the office (read: the kids wrote with marker on Todd's wall) we decided to head downtown McKinney to show Gregg "The Square".   We walked around a few shops and landed at the Pantry for lunch.   They are located in the old courthouse and are well known for their pies (actually featured on the food network for them!)     

Next stop...Mom and Popcorn nostalgic candy store.   Needless to say, this was fun and dangerous all at the same time : )

We rounded out the weekend with showing Grandaddy the new house (we close on Thursday!), swimming in the pool and just "bummin" (famous term of Grandaddy's).   Thank you for such a great time Grandaddy and good luck on your new job...you'll do great (out of the box great!)
