A visit with Granny and Pop-Pop

It has been 5 long months since we have seen Granny and Pop-Pop, they don’t like winter so they stay where it is nice and warm, Arizona and California…I think they are very lucky! They arrived a week ago and we have been very busy hanging out and having fun. Here we are in our new Princess pyjamas that they bought us for Easter.

We had a busy weekend when they first arrived…our family had signed up to participate in a 5K run on Saturday for the Trot 4 Tots and a 5K walk on Sunday for the March of Dimes. Both of them were done on behalf of daddy’s work ETSU Pediatrics and they were held on the grounds behind the hospital. We were very lucky that the weather cooperated both days and it was beautiful. We ran the 5K race in 37 mins and we were the first stroller/kids to cross the line!

For the March of Dimes walk they were raising money for the premature NICU babies which as most of you know means a lot to my daddy since he has decided to pursue a career in neonatology. They had tons of fun things set up for kids to do before the walk. Our friends the Lowery’s and the Farr’s joined us, it was a great day!

Since the weather was so nice we decided to get all packed up on Monday and head to Dollywood, it was so much fun. There was barely anybody there and we got to go on so many rides, including the fun water rides, I think everyone had a great time! I hope we get to go back one more time before we move…hint, hint!!!!

I got to ride on a kids roller coaster with both Mommy and Daddy, it was super fast and lots of fun.

Then Mommy and Daddy got to be big kids for a few mins and ride some big roller coasters, if you look close enough at the pic below you can see them on the wooden roller coaster!   Dollywood3

I also got to spend some time this week with my friends Fisher and Ella, their babysitter hurt herself so Mommy helped out by watching them for 2 days. One afternoon while they were here we got all dressed in bathing suits and played outside in the sprinkler and water table!

Our weather has been really weird lately, one day it is super nice and the next it is rainy and kind of cold. So on one of the not so nice days we went to Wallabies indoor play center and Paige and I got to show Granny and Pop-Pop all the fun things we like to do there. I think they were quite amazed at the lack of fear in me…!!!

Since mommy and daddy have grandparents here they took advantage one night and went out with some of their friends and by the sounds of it they had a great time! It is nice for them to have a night out, I think Paige and I can be handful sometimes…!!!

I know this has been a long post so I will finish off with just a few last pictures. Last night it was a beautiful evening so we went out to the park and watched Pop-Pop fly his model airplane and helicopter, it was really neat! Check out the nice picture Granny got of the four of us walking out into the sunset!!!

Granny and Pop-Pop treated us out to dinner tonight so Paige and I decided we would get all dolled up in some of our new dresses, everyone kept telling us how cute we looked!

Well that is all for now, hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Love y’all,

Emmie and Paige
