A Visit from the Grimes Family...

Our 1st "friends" company from TN was the Grimes family. They were on Fall Break this week, so Friday they came up for the weekend!!! They went to church and school with us back in Jackson...and I taught with Beverly. They got here about 6:30 on Friday night, and the boys were SOOOOO EXCITED to see them!! Caleb and Carson were together all the time when we lived in Jackson, so it has been really hard on Carson to not be with Caleb since the move. The kids played and played Friday night. The boys all piled in our bed to sleep that night. I think they finally went to sleep around mid-night that night. Only to get up at 7:00AM the next morning!!!

The Gang on Friday night...playing Play Station!!!


Best Buds...Carson and Caleb!!



Beverly and I had decided that we would get up on Saturday and show them around the area...we didn't want to waste the time while they were here. Well.....that didn't happen!! We didn't leave to go "sight-seeing" until maybe 12:30ish!! We just lost track of time...between letting the kids enjoy hanging out together and Bev. and I catching up on stuff - we just lost track of time.

We took the Grimes around the area and then to Keehner Park for the Pumpkin Festival. It was like a Harvest Festival with all kinds of blow-up things,a petting zoo, pony rides, crafts, food, carnival type games, and a haunted (kid friendly) trail). The kids had a blast!!! We stayed there for a couple of hours...then took them to the KFC (Kids for Christ...Carson's church group) cook-out. After Beverly and I dropped the kids off with Davy - we left and went to Cheese Cake Factory for dinner and then to Starbucks for coffee...we had a great time too!!!

Here is a slide show from the Keehner Park Festival...

The Grimes family headed out early Sunday morning to make that fun drive back to TN...after church...we had to hit the ball field for Carson's ballgame!! He was 3 for 3 today...we were very proud of him!!!
