and then this squirrel started pee-ing on me
We went down to Des Moines for the weekend. The family had a nice time visiting with the Grandparents. The kids had a lot of fun playing from a yellow plastic bag full of toys from who knows what year. Zach especially liked an old metal red firetruck. He would do his standard with toys with wheels. He found a flat surface and got eye level with it and pushed it back and forth so he could watch the wheels spin. We went out for supper at a Chinese buffet and also had a nice breakfast at the places cafeteria. We talked with one of the cafeteria ladies and she told us that the Watsons were one of her favorites and that she remembered my Grandma Binau.
The parents were down there too going to the Iowa State Fair with Craig and Sue to see James Taylor. I Googled him to see what he what he sung. I had heard a few of his songs. We went over to their house for breakfast on Saturday. I was worried about getting going that early with everything we had. Later it became a non-issue. Zach just decided to keep everyone up all night so there was no way we would be late.
At breakfast, Zach sat on my Dad's lap and ate from his fruit bowl. This is an odd occurrence because Zach doesn't really eat fruit. He is more of a meat and potatoes guy. We were amazed. He even had seconds.
The kids took well needed naps and conversations were started. We went out the back yard and checked out all the plants and double layer pond and waterfall that takes up a corner of the landscaping. It was here we were told the story of the squirrel. Apparently while reading on a chair in the backyard, Craig felt some water splashing on his arms. He looked up and didn't see any rain clouds and thought it odd. He got another splash and saw that there was a squirrel perched on a tree right above him. That little guy had sprinkled all over him. We drive 3 1/2 hours to go the house of a PhD and this is the classy story we get.
Olivia was playing with a big black ant before breakfast. She was complimenting it and ooh-ing and ahh-ing and showing great attention and affection. This only lasted so long. She dropped the ant on the ground and squashed it. The quote was, "Bye-bye Ant."
