3 Grandma's, 2 Grandpa's!






My parents, my Grandma, and Andy's parents came to town for Andy's graduation of his MBA. Yeah! It is a little bitter sweet because he still has to go to school until the middle of July. He just walked with the bachelor's program. He was a good day for him. We were all so proud of his accomplishment. It was a long day, but it was worth it. After the graduation we went out to dinner to celebrate. It was a nice day.

Baylee called my Grandma the other Grandma. It was really funny. Baylee and Sydney loved my Grandma. They had fun doing patty cakes.

My parents came a week before the graduation. We did a lot of shopping for my birthday, but didn't find anything. My mom made me a cover for the shopping cart and high chairs for Sydney. We did a lot of cleaning. My mom brought her carpet cleaner.

We went to this coolest place. It's called the Wild Wilderness Safari. It has every kind of animal, except for an elephant. They said they have over 1,000 species. The animals are over 1,000 acres. It was a perfect day. Not too hot or humid. You drove for a couple miles and saw all the animals roaming. They would come up to your car and stare at you in the window. A monkey jumped onto the car in front of us. While we were there a monkey that was in a cage stole Baylee's bow out of her hair and put it in his mouth. She hasn't stopped talking about it. It scared her.

Andy's parents came 4 days later. On Friday we went to the War Eagle Craft fair. I got some cute bows for the girls. They had good food: dippin' dots, funnel cakes, corn dogs, and fudge. That was our lunch that day, very nutritious. We had fun.

My parents left on Mother's Day. Andy's family came over for a nice dinner. It was nice to have our mom's here with us on Mother's Day.

Yesterday Bob, Sue, Baylee, Sydney, and I went back to War Eagle to see the mill. It was so fun. They have small packages of mixes for biscuits, pancakes, waffles, whole wheat bread, flour, and fish fry that are all organic. They also had jams, and syrups. It was a fun place. Then we went to Eureka Springs to shop and have lunch. We had a fun day. I learned about Andy's family history from his parents. It was very interesting. Andy's parents went home today.

It is sad when family goes home, but it is nice to get back in the swing of things. Thanks for coming to support Andy. We had such a good time.
