Greenville Trip

After Easter the kiddos and I went to Greenville for a few days for a visit with my parents. We hadn't seen my dad since Christmas (hello tax season) so it was nice to get to see him.

Monday we headed to the Runway Cafe. I had heard about this in passing from a few people but didn't know much about it but decided we'd go check it out. It was so great!!!
We met the Sanders family there and it was so good to see them and catch up. The kids always play so well together and we're so looking forward to meeting baby Sanders #4 in the fall!

They have a very nice playground that's right on the runway of the downtown airport. There's also a track that kids can ride their bikes on. 

They have a covered picnic area so you can bring your own lunch. Beside he playground is a little restaurant (the Runway Cafe) and that's where we ate. It was really good!  

While we were eating a small plane pulled up right by the gate and pilots came in to eat. Emmie managed to corner the pilots and ask them lots of questions! She was thrilled!

Tuesday we went to the Greenville Zoo. There is a new baby giraffe and Ellie was really, really hoping to see it. Unfortunately it wasn't warm enough for the baby to be out but we still had a great time! There was a baby gibbon that was ADORABALE! He was definitely my favorite!








Wednesday morning we took the girls to get their haircut at Jellybeans. They LOVE to do this when we got to Gran's...you get a balloon and a bag of jelly beans after your haircut!

They also style your hair and Ruthie and Ellie don't seem to care too much about the hair styling but Emmie LOVES to get an Elsa braid. The lady this time did an awesome job!


Wednesday night we went to my parent's church. The big girls LOVE their Wednesday night program and they always find lots of friends to play with.

In between our activities the girls played outside A LOT. They had the best time and Franklin always loves getting to play outside too!

Thursday we headed back to Columbia. We had such a wonderful time on our trip!


Franklin's favorite spot to hang out...in the sun on Gran's shoulders! He loves his Gran.


Story time with Gran and Grandaddy.


Emmie had JP laughing so hard...they were adorable.


Going to Gran and Grandaddy's is exhausting...
