Addison & Kennedy visit PD Farms

Addison & Kennedy spent 1 week with their Papa Phil & Mama Dianne on their farm, PD Farms, & had a wonderful time! Brian & I sure missed them, but managed to get along without them. The girls helped pick berries, went to a few farmer's markets, played with their cousins and much more. Here is a message I received from Mama Dianne during their visit:

"Sorry no pictures last night. We had a great day though, helped outside a bit. Then we went to the market in Enterprise. The kids were really good, and enjoyed the live music in the park. We sat and ate popcorn, pet puppies, and danced to the music. Okay well the kids danced, Kennedy was hearing a different tune than I was but she was a dancing fool!!

At one point in the evening we lost them both!! Okay we didn't really loose them because we were right there with them, but they were hiding under the table, which has rather long clothes on it. But they could both reach from under the table to the top...........where the bowls of peaches were. Yep, that's right they were snitching peaches from the table, on the other side from where we were standing. So, when we lifted the cloth up there were girls, peach pits, and juice running down their arms. What a juicy mess, but it was all good and washed off.

We went to a mexican diner that Phil and I often enjoy when we are up that way for dinner after the market. We knew they wouldn't be to hungry after multiple peaches, carrots, popcorn, berries, and yeah I bought them a homemade oatmeal cookie. That's all pretty healthy. So, the special of the day was a banana smoothie. Which of course we ordered to share. It came in a very pretty margarita glass, so I had to of course test it to make sure it was alcohol free. The glass had me fooled. It was delicious, so I poured some in each of the girls glasses to which Addison said, "I don't like that". Papa asked her if she had ever had one and she said no. I told her she had to take one taste, if she didn't like it she didn't have to drink it. That is the right Grandma response isn't it? Well Kennedy loved hers, Addison said she didn't. However when the possibility of Kennedy drinking hers as well as her own, Addison asked if she could try it again.

Now, she loves it! She said it just had to wait for her to learn about it. Learn about it? I do not know what she learned except that Kennedy loved it, but then Addison loved hers. I was sure Addison needed to stretch her legs so she and I ran/walked the 4 blocks to the store, (I forgot to bring a diaper bag) to buy diapers. But, Grandpa drove to fast and beat us. She informed him he was supposed to let us win, but it was okay we could all be winners.

We got our diapers........do you have any idea how many sizes and varieties of diapers there are in the store. It is enough to make any Grandmother shake her head. Back in my day, NOPE we did not use cloth, but there was only one variety....LOL. We loaded back in the truck and headed home. Addison asked how far it was, while Kennedy sang, and we told her just a short ways. Addison began to sing also, her ABC song. She does a very good job by the way. After she had sung it several times she counted to 100, well it was a shortened version of 100. She then told us, it really isn't that short of a ways. She and I continued to talk all the way home, it was a rather random conversation. But it was her best effort to stay awake, which she did. She asked if she could watch one show before we went to bed.

How could that go wrong? Well let me tell you the cartoons on TV at 9:30 are NOT appropriate for kids. First thing we changed to iCarly. Wow, I did not know cartoons had cuss words and inappropriate stuff. Wow!! So, she watched iCarly and went right to bed as she promised. Kennedy during this process just cuddled with Grandma, which is a welcome end to any evening. Sorry for no pictures, but a rundown of the evening.

We are having a good time!!!! "
