Worsless Wednesday ~ More Fair Pictures

I wish the middle one came out clear. He had a big smile on his face.

A Visit From Grandma and Grandpa

This weekend we got a special visit from Marc's parents. Andrew was so excited to see them. Grandpa Jebb was his new best friend and Andrew followed him EVERYWHERE! At first he was calling Grandma Kate, Grandma Patsy and then he switched over to calling her Grandma Cake. It was soooo cute! We had a busy weekend. We went golfing on Friday, the Fort Worth Zoo on Saturday, and Texas State Fair on Sunday. We had a blast!!!! I know he is already missing them.

You know Andrew, he had to show Grandpa his golfing skill.

His face in this picture is just too funny.
I think he was looking to see if ball went in the hole.

The Fort Worth Zoo has a really neat bird house

where you can get a stick and feed the Parakeets.

Andrew got a few to land on his stick. I don't think all the birds

had waken up yet and so they didn't get real active/hungry until we left.

Of Course he kept trying to touch them and then they'd fly away.

I think we have found the trick to the State Fair. We got there about

an hour before it opened, the gates were opened at that time, and took all our pictures

and visited the animals. Which was about the only thing open at that time.

By the time it got crowded we had seen/done everything we needed to do.

Kate and Jebb also got their first taste of the famous Fletcher's Corny Dog.

It was nice to get into the petting zoo early. There was maybe 10 people in there

total including us.

Getting ready to go up on the Farris wheel. Grandpa

doesn't like rides, so he waited at the bottom. I have to say

this is a really good picture of Marc and Andrew.

Here we are close to the top.

If you look hard you can see the tiny

cars in the background.

Andrew really wanted to ride some rides this time.

We did let him go on a few. I have a really cute one

of he and Marc coming down the
big slide, but I will save those pictures for another post.

Andrew Anecdotes

Here is Andrew with my (our) cousin Matthew, who is

Andrew's new BFF.

It feels like it has been forever since I posted, but nothing has been going on lately. But here are a few funny things Andrew has done or said. First off, his school sends out a newsletter each month and one of the sections is "The Cute Things Kids Say". I am pretty sure one of their quotes came from Andrew, though I may never know for sure. It was introduce by telling us how one of the teachers was talking about eating dinner and all the good things we can eat. She then turns and asks the kid next to her what was their favorite thing to eat for dinner was and the kid's response was "JUNK!". The reason why I think this is Andrew is because when I tell him it is dinner time or he has to eat dinner first he tells me "I don't want dinner! I want junk!".

Sometimes he is just so observant. We were waiting in the carpool line for his school one morning. There are several flowering bushes that line the drive way and they are always swarming with bees. Andrew likes watching the bees from the window and told me "Hey look, those bees are playing Hide-n-go-seek." And you know it did look like that's what they were doing. It is just so cute the way their brains work and how they see the word.
