Gommy visits for the weekend

Gommy came to visit over the weekend. Braden was out of town so I asked Gommy to come so we could do fun stuff. There's lots of things I'd like to do with the kids, but it's hard to do by myself. Go to Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke, go to Safari Park, go to Cascades.....lots of stuff OUTDOORS to do. But Gommy brought rain with her. Lots and lots of rain. We had a few dry moments.

Friday wasn't too bad for a little while (got rain and lightning and thunder later....VT graduation was cancelled). So we were able to ride bikes for a while.

It's the South-going Zax and the North-going Zax

Saturday morning we had a t-ball game. The rain held out for half of it. The other half we sat in the rain. Ethan cried because he didn't want to play. I convinced him that Gommy had come to see him play and she would be sad if he didn't play. So he played. He wasn't as into the game this time, but kept himself entertained.


The game was over early and then we had a whole day of nothing planned. And lots of rain. So we headed to the public library and got a library card. Spent a while there picking out some books and checked out 7 books and brought them home to read.



The kids were bored and were fighting a lot, so we went out to dinner at Red Robin. It was fairly uneventful which means it was a pretty good "out to eat" experience. Brynn has suddenly become an extremely picky eater and won't even put things in her mouth to try them. Although she loved grilled cheese and french fries 2 weeks ago, now she throws them on the floor. So she ate 3 mandarine orange pieces and that's it. But she was happy, so whatever.

Sunday we went to church for Sunday school. Tried to drop Brynn off in the nursery so my mom and I could kick back and enjoy a cup or 2 of tea, but Brynn had other plans. Cried and screamed and cried some more. So we hung with her while Blythe and Ethan were in Sunday school. Later at home Brynn seemed just fine.



Anyway, after lunch Gommy headed back home. And go figure that as soon as she left, we got no more rain and the rest of the day was beautiful. Hmmm.
