We are going to GrandTone and Grandpa Trumpet's house soon. This visit is preceded with a lot of excitement by all members of the Farris family. If you haven't BEEN to GrandTone's house, you should go...it is Neverland (and NO, not the Micheal Jackson kind). Lots of room to roam and explore, lots of random outside toys (a tricycle, an old rusted wagon, a pile of dirt filled with wiggly worms), coffee--always the coffee. When we arrive I turn the kids loose...they return to me hours later, grinning, exhausted, hungry, covered in dirt and melted Popsicle. We stay up too late, we plan too many projects, we eat great food...and we drink more coffee. Here is what we want to do when we go to visit:
Danny--Ride his bike...ride his bike...ride his bike...ride his bike...eat weeneroni...ride his bike
Grace--Catch fireflies and worms ("Mom, the worms are still at GrandTone's right?")
Me--Make a rain barrel, run Dad's 4 mile loop, drink coffee, go to Meig's and get my wedding ring cleaned, sit on the back deck and drink more coffee, make orange Sunkist pop ice cream, go to Sonic and park on the "cool side", catch fireflies with my daughter
Sam--He doesn't really know what he is in for just yet...he'll probably enjoy the weeneroni and the worms...there isn't much he doesn't like....
Can't wait Mom and Dad!! See you soon!

Sounds very similar to Riley's (and Bree's!) Nana and Papa's house. Only difference is they have iced tea instead of coffee. :) Have fun!
Awww. Enjoy your parents' house a little for me, would you? We had some grand times there ourselves!
Oh, *I* have been to Grantone's and Grandpa Trumpet's house, long before they were grand-people. Is that pretty mimosa tree still there? And can you still walk back to that little creek back behind? Oh, have a wonderful time. It's always special to visit the grandparents!
Come on DOWWWWNNNNN!!! I have Nothing Planned for us at all! Well, except for the ice cream, everything else is pretty much business as usual. Dunno about the worms, tho...Maybe we'll have some rain to bring 'em up top b4 you get here. If we plan on catching lightening bugs, the kids'll have to stay up late...Yeay!!!!
