On Sunday we spent the day at Jim's mom's house in Midland. It was a nice relaxing day, and the weather was beautiful. We enjoyed looking at their beautiful garden, Jane is a master gardener, and it shows. Around their garden they have an electric fence to keep the wild turkeys out, but when we were there, the turkey walked right threw the fence twice without a care in the world (picture of the turkey above).
Jim got to see how large Alan's hops are growing, and I think he got home and measured his in our garden. Alan gave Jim some tips on brewing beer and growing hops and we came home with some special potion Alan made that Jim is going to put on his hops.
Emily enjoyed squirting Grandma and daddy with the garden house, eventually we had to end the game and she was a little sad that the fun was over. But she had gotten both grandma and daddy wet. I kept my distance in the back snapping pictures. :)
The other thing Emily loved to do was play with their cat Holly. Holly was very good about letting Emily chase her and play with her, sometimes she would go hide but most of the time she let Emily pet her, squeeze her, hold her and more. Emily got a real kick out of her walking between her legs and wanted her to keep doing that.
I was so proud of Emily at grandma's house, she had no accidents and peeped and pooped on the potty the entire day. Plus she took a nap in the guest bedroom in the queen size bed with a large rubber ducky they had. It only took her a few minutes to fall asleep on her own in a strange place. I was amazed, and I am sure we will have many times that we won't be as lucky as we were on Sunday.
It was a great father's day!
