Kiddos

Dear Christine and John,

Here are some snapshots from the kids stay in Buffalo. Man, we packed in a lot of activities while they were here with Grammie, Pappa, Uncle Ed and I...Explore & More, snacks, playtime, snacks, ice cream stop, Erie County Fair, a meltdown or two, more snacks, playground, Movie in the Park, snacks, and a sleepover. Yikes, having a 5 year old and 2 year old is exhausting...they don't stop. Thank god for naptime (Carter and I took one together two days in a row!). It was great having them here. Lilah has such a silly personality...she cracks me up (and herself). Her little voice is just adorable. Carter is like a sponge soaking up everything he does, he is so curious and remembers EVERYTHING. He is so loving and appreciates all that we do together. They were really good and we had lots of fun. We are all resting up for our babysitting duties next week. Miss you all!!!

Love,

Aunt Manda

P.S. Grammie said I better not wait to0 long to have kids, because her and Pappa are gonna be too old to do this. I guess Molly is out of luck...haha.

I tackled Explore & More with the both of them all by myself.

Lilah didn't want to leave the construction zone. Maybe she'll take over C. E. Watson Construction someday. She was here most of the time painting the wood and wearing her "cape" (that's what she kept calling the vest).

Waiting patiently for the piggie races.

Grammie and I were pooped after our day at the fair.

Piggie #2 won (which was our pig). Her name was "Sarah Jessica Porker." Hehe.

The kids sitting up in the caboose of one the trains on display.

There were LOTS of moo moo cows at the fair. We were there so early that the farmers' cots were still out. I had NO IDEA they slept right in the barns with the cows. I could never be a farmer.

This old man in the conservation building loved Lilah...and she of course loved the soft furs.

Antique tractor display. Carter and Lilah both picked this green one as their favorite.

*Sorry I have no pictures from the Movie in the Park. Carter and I had a great date night together though.
