our EdVentures

Some highlights from our trip to Columbia this past weekend. (Not in chronological order!)

We had a wonderful visit with my paternal grandparents. Who despite physical limitations and discomforts opened their home to my rowdy bunch, fed, loved, and educated us! I love you very much and am thankful for the time we can share together. My children love you both so much. Papa, you have made a very special buddy! (looks like you kinda like him too)

Meme and Papa with the children.

Meme had some time to love on RobinPapa taught Nicholas all about his grandfathers' surgical toolsLoads of fun and even more spoilage at Phil and Ken's home!!!

Root beer floats late at night (who is the kid here, Nicholas or Ken?)Olives are a great snack...especially if you get to eat the whole can and play with your food...
After a quick stop to the baby furnture store, we spent all morning Saturday at EdVenture in Columbia SC.

Meet Ed (a 3 story tall educational indoor jungle gym)...This is Ed's stomach,his heartand his face and brain,Other activities at EdVenture are the barn yard...
A life sized Operation game (Nicholas did not make the buzzer go off
at all)A wonderful outdoor play center providing education on renewable energy, this feature was all about Methane cleverly titled "Garbology"A trip to the dentist calls for a look at x-Rays, tooth identification, and a cleaning of course!and the grocery store sponsored by Pigly Wigly...
Back at home Robin takes a morning peek at the ducks on the lake
a nice snuggle with Jackson, the fuzziest dog ever (my brother, Phil, and Robin)
We played lots and lots of Candy Land (actually,
started a lot of games)
Robin did not hold back in sharing her "book-of-facts" with my brother Phil...
Ken loves on Robin over and over again...
Jackson patiently awaits his turn to seek the hidden toy (he finds it every time)...
only this picture can explain how much fun it was to visit Phil and Ken in Columbia this past weekend.
Thanks Guys!!!
