We drove the 10 hours up to Fayetteville this year to see my Dad and Annette. The kids tolerated the road trip and only asked about 500,000 times when we get there, which is down from our Disney trip in May which totaled somewhere near a million. The turkey was deep fried, the ham sugared, and the green beans casseroled. Everything was just the way I would've handpicked the meal. Including the fact that there were 5 desserts to choose from. Pumpkin Pie, Apple Cake, gingerbread cake with cream cheese frosting, chocolate torte and banana pudding. Why make the choice I say, there is too little time and not enough room left in my stomach.
The merriment of the few short days included a few pivotal games of chess between Rick and myself. I still believe he cheats when you are not looking. An endless game of Battleship from the 80's with missing pegs between Grandpa and an Emma who kept moving her boats around( I think she takes after Rick ie: cheater, cheater, pants on fire)
Watched Wall-E and listened to Addie say in a high pitched voice all night WALLLLL- EEEEEE.
I had to include this picture of Emma. We were out for a walk and she found this great hill on the golf course. She went for it and just rolled her way down the long green. This was snapped in mid rotation.

We roasted marshmallows the last night and it was chilly and toasty. Perfect for a fire. Reece apparently wanted to play Indiana Jones b/c he took a flaming marshmallow on a stick right out of the fire and then left with it and said he wanted a torch.
Thanks for a great time Grandpa, can't wait to come back again
