A slice of paradise

Jasper and I had the wonderful privilege of going up to my parents' house for a few days!! I thought we would have a really nice time, but we had a BLAST!!! A total, complete, 100%-off-the-radar blast!!!

We met GG Sally at Panera for a scrumptious lunch, then went to the farm and started the festivities!! First on the list, play time with Marley (the dog, aka Jasper's newest bff) and Nana's wagon which Jasper quickly grew addicted to. Then nap time for both Jasper and me (thanks Mom!! You're a saint!!), and then.... the county FAIR!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE county fairs!!




Lovin' the goats!


Waiting patiently while I buy my 4th fair food of the evening!!


Riding the carousel with Nana & Brogan, Papa & Elliot, and me & Jas. Jasper loved loved loved the carousel; I'm trying to decide if we can justify buying one for our backyard.


After an awesome evening at the fair, we got an exhausted Jasper into bed and Mom, Dad, and I chilled on the couch and watched some Covert.

The next day dawned bright and beautiful and held so many new adventures for Jasper, such as:

more play time with Marley...

more wagon time...

paddle boat rides with Nana!!

gator rides with Nana!! (have I mentioned how fun Nana is??)


pickin' corn from Papa's field after a lovely visit with GG Tractor...


 helpin' Papa get the combine ready for harvest!

and getting dressed up with beautiful Nana to get coffee and do some shopping in Bucyrus!



Yes! It seriously was SOO wonderful and lovely and relaxing, and I keep thinking how blessed we were to have a little slice of paradise.

  2. It was a fun time, wasn't it? I am not sure who had the most fun...you, me, Jasper or Marley. Although the picture doesn't show it, Marley was energized by Jasper's presence! Of course, who wouldn't be. In addition to being super cute and super smart...he is a super busy boy! Can't wait til the next time. Hmmm....maybe I should get some goats.
