Greenville

We went to Greenville last Friday evening and stayed with my parents until Tuesday morning.  We had so much fun while we were there.  Franklin always loves to go see Gran and The Crazy Man (aka Grandaddy...but if you know him you understand the nickname...haha) and Emmie had such a good time playing at their house...I'm pretty sure she's already figured out that grandparents (and Great Grandmothers) are a lot more fun than parents!  I think we all enjoyed our stay.  I know it was comforting for me to see that my mom really was feeling better as she recovered from her bout with bronchitis.  She was pretty sick when we were in Greenville the week before.  Monday, after her chemo, she even walked all the way around the neighborhood with us!
Here's some of what we did while we were in Greenville...the common theme, you will notice, is water!  We had beautiful weather so we played outside a lot.

Why is Grandaddy great?  Because he's the only one who will let you "help" work on the computer.

Franklin and Emmie had a great time playing in her old baby bathtub.  Franklin was glad that we finally got him a big water bowl...he is a very big dog after all!  He drank so much he had to go to the bathroom 3 times in a 2 hour period!  Apparently, even though he is a big dog, he does not have big dog kidneys.

Emmie had the best time playing with her stacking cups!

She loved having a chair that she could get in and out of.  The best part?  She would get her chair all wet and then want to kick you out of your chair so she could have a dry one!

Playing with the water!


Emmie did a lot of coloring while we were at Gran and Grandaddy's house.  It would appear that blue is her favorite color crayon.

We broke out her bathing suit (and a swim diaper...the regular ones get quite large when wet!) and she had a great time in her "pool"...even though the water was straight out of the hose so it was COLD!


Franklin supervised the pool play.  Emmie was funny...in her little "pool" she would put herself, a big tupperware bowl, most of the 12 stacking cups, and one time she also tried to get a small trash can in there!


While we were in Greenville Emmie's Great-Grandmother came over to play but sadly I couldn't find my camera so no pictures...but we all had a good time!
