Fun with DotDot & Uncle Norma

DotDot has been doing her fair share to keep Drew and Anna Kate busy the last couple of weeks. She has planned some pretty fun things for my two little cuties.  And lucky for all of them, "Uncle Norma" has been willing to come along!
Their first outing a couple of weeks ago was some what impromptu.  I arrived one morning to drop Drew and Anna Kate off and DotDot announced that she was going to take them to Townsend to the Train Museum.  They were able to convince Uncle Norma to along to so after breakfast they took off.  Sadly, the Train Museum was closed but they were still able to find something fun to do. They stopped at some stables and visited the horses and went for a buggy ride.

 Feeding the horses

 Sweet girl. (They were totally unprepared for an outing on this day. I think I even forgot to leave their sunglasses!)

 Drew and the buggy driver. I think they figured out he knew Grandaddy!

 Crazy kid!

Next up was a trip to the Friendly Farm to get up close and personal with some farm animals. This was quite the adventure because Price, Hayes, and Whitney got to come along too!  I found a really good deal on tickets so I bought several.

 They got to ride on a horse too!  Sweet Cousin Whitney took one for the team and rode with them.

DotDot picked up a couple of extra babysitting days last week while Mamaw and Papaw were on vacation and was looking for some different things to do.  I found some small pumpkins at the grocery store and bought them for a project for my little artists.  

 Deep concentration

 They like the mixed color look!

Thursday morning they went to story time at the library.  They have been there once before but I think it was just to look around.  From what I hear, they did good and really enjoyed themselves.  They even got to check out some books!

Anna Kate has always been my reader.  She picked out a book about butterflies!

I am so happy for Anna Kate and Drew that they get to spend so much time with their grandparents (and great-grandparents)! Mamaw Katherine and Papaw Hubert have started some special traditions with them too like going to breakfast on Thursday and Friday mornings, going to feed the ducks (an entire loaf of bread!), going to the park, and going "shopping".  It a new adventure every day.  All of these fun things are memories they will have forever!
