A visit with the "grands"

Since I used this title before, I thought I'd post the link so you could see how much Luke has changed since the last visit in June. The easiest thing to notice is that he's missing that "Alfalfa" sprout now.

Here are some highlights of this one:

Luke and his grandpa:

Here's Luke at supper after not much of a nap. It was pretty late and we were having chocolate ice cream for dessert. Luke's never had ice cream and mom and dad thought it might be fun to see what he did. Here he is right before; you can see how excited he is to be getting his first sugar:

And here he is right after:

I guess I don't have to worry about him eating all my chocolate ice cream for a while!

On Saturday we went to Watkins Regional Park, a park in the central part of our county. I had been there last spring with my mom's group and thought it would probably be a nice place to go this fall. Luke was quite a bit more responsive this time and we had fun at the Old Maryland Farm looking at the animals.

Here's Luke with his daddy:

He was quite excited - here's what he was looking at:

The hugest, grossest pigs I've ever seen - and I've been to many a state/county fair!

Luke also enjoyed the chickens, rabbits, peacocks, geese,

and daddy's shoulder:


Here he's looking at horses, a donkey and a goat:


That was a long day and Luke fell asleep on grandpa while they were watching the Wolverines beat the Penn State Nittany Lions. GO BLUE!
