Don't you hate it when you do that thing of being "in the moment" and don't want to ruin it by pulling out the camera and making everyone pose? Well, that's pretty much how our visit with Granny and Papa went this past weekend.
We had a great time with some sight seeing of scenic routes (which included an emergency bathroom pit stop in the good ole outdoors for me). Wouldn't you know after said emergency stop I passed several public parks restrooms on the way out of Mirror Lake Highway. And wouldn't you also know that after not knowing where to stop for a picnic, with tables, we pulled over and found a shady spot and had a tailgate picnic. Only to pass a scenic picnic area about 1/4 mile after we were done. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
All of that didn't matter. It was the company we were seeing most of all. It is refreshing and rejuvenating to be with family again. Enjoy the pics that I did take.

I asked Chloe what she and the neighbor boy were talking about. She replied with a wave of her hand, "Just boy stuff."
"We're upsetting the financial gravity in the pool!"
"Was I the cutest baby ever?"
"I hate dolls, they're creepy! It's like they look into the depths of your soul!"
You look enjoyed.
Mom: "Are your new shoes Skechers?" Chloe: "I just like to call them 'shoes'."
To the cat, "Spike, you set the mood!"
"I had a dream it rained chickens."
The day she got her first bra, "Can I put it on in the car?"
Watching Nathan at his first Fencing lesson she wistfully says while looking at him, "He's doing something he really loves."
"Mom, do you know how to flirt?" Yes, I guess I do. "Can you teach me how?"
"I wish I was blind. I really want a dog!"
Chloe: My boyfriend is small. Mom: Yes, he is really small. Chloe: Well, they do grow, you know.
"I'm cute! Boys really like me!"
"I'm a butter stick with paper around me." (A song Chloe made up while dancing with the kitten.)
"I want to live on Mars.... or Europe."
"I want a white Persian cat with three legs."
"My teacher asked each of us to write one thing that made us nervous." What did you write? I asked. Chloe's reply, "My Mom's driving."
"I want to eat a cloud."
(about the kitten) "He has a careful face."
"I'll knock your socks out!"
"I think I broke my armpit bone."
Chloe to Beck: "Don't knowledge me about things I already know!"
Nathan: "It's not fair that women live longer than men. They were created second! Chloe in her best "duh!" voice: "That's why they live longer!"
"You make the human centipede look like Elmo!"
"I think Bacon should become a new element on the periodic table."
"I don't like going to the movies, the big screen makes my eyes dial-a-lot" [dilate]
In his sweet little voice to our cat who had been in heat, "Oh Piper, are you unheated now?"
While dreading the coming of Hurricane Ike, "I don't want to have this experience!"
While huddled in the closet during Hurricane Ike, "Why don't we take this time to relate to each other?"
"Can I have money for the confession stand?"
"Mom, can you teach me how to be patient? Right now?"
Chloe: "Your birthday is 6 months away!" Beck, "Thanks a lot for lifting my spirit!"
Beck to two neighbor siblings who were fighting: "Hey, that's no way to relate to each other and get along!"
"What are the consequestions?" (consequences)
(Frog on his shoulder that he just found outside.) "Mom, look, he's a well-behaved frog. He's my friend. As a matter of fact, he's my best friend."
"Mom, you're the best driver I've ever known."
"I just dropped my pack of gum on the concrete. Wow, I never thought I would do that!"
"All nerds eat Mayonnaise."
"Mom, would you eat a turkey cooked by criminals?" (I don't know WHERE that came from!)
Nathan to his teacher, "Would you like me to staple these papers together?" Her reply, "I would love you if you did that." To which he responded, "Let's just be friends."
"Mom, how do I get a date with a girl without making her feel pressured?" --Age 11
