Thursday Visits and Adventures

Last Thursday Erik's grandmother (Mimi) and Aunt Patsy came to Mabank to visit. It was such a beautiful day and we had such a great time. This was Mimi's first to meet Harper in person. Harper is Erik's grandmother's eighth great-grandchild, but the FIRST girl! So needless to say she was very excited.

Mimi and Harper.

We had a great visit and are so glad they got to come. That evening the weather was so nice, we decided to walk to Shorty's Soda Shop on Market St. for sandwich's and ice cream. It is the neatest old fashioned soda shop, the boys love it there, especially there strawbery Sundays.

Everyone loaded up ready to go. As you can see, Cooper is in a mood. I know, BIG shock! He had fallen asleep on the toy room floor about twenty minutes before we decided to leave. And, the moment you see above is where he and Erik had just finished arguing over if he would walk or ride in the stroller. Cooper won!

So when we finally made it to the soda shop, they had already closed because they were still following winter hours. Erik decided we should walk a little further down the street to the Mabank Cafe or (Mom's as we call it). This place has wonderful home cooking. We had just sat down at the table and ordered and this happened....

Yes!! Those are paper towells sticking out of Harper's bloomers. She EXPLODED her diaper, for a lack of lady-like terms. And of course her being the third child and this trip taking twice as long as I had planned, I forgot her diaper bag. And please exscuse my no make-up self in this picture. At this point, I convinced Erik that it would be a good idea if he would call his mother and have her come rescue us, seeing that it was already begining to get dark. KK to the rescue, brought us a diaper bag and a car.

Hagen and Cooper having a great time.

All in all it was a great Thursday!
