Spring Break — Monroe City style

We made a quick trip to northeast Missouri last Friday and stayed at Dana & Kathy's. The temps were in the 60's that afternoon with blue sky and sunshine, so it was great to run around outside.

The boys had lots of fun playing on Papa & Nana's swing set.

Wheee!

Tarzan.

Landon did an impressive job of figuring out the "big boy" ladder all by himself...

but Jackson often thinks he needs some help...

and is right there to give him a push.

Now if you think that Landon is wearing his jammies because it's nearing bedtime, you'd be correct. But it might be more accurate to think that Landon is wearing his jammies because he just got out of the bathtub ... after Daddy didn't stop him from going into the pond.

Fully clothed.

Face first.

Saturday morning, the snow (in the background, to the right) started falling as soon as we woke up.

Around lunchtime, Leslie's grandparents and aunt and uncle came over to visit.

Grandpa Bernard and Grandma Reva recently returned from spending several months in Texas for the winter.

Landon with Leslie's Uncle Jeff ... and his glasses.

Big shoes to fill.

"Snow?!?"

Uncle Greg and Cousin Sam.

They played with these Lincoln Logs for hours.

Landon doing his best Papa impersonation — sitting in the chair, drinking a soda, remote control in hand.

This blue heron appeared at the edge of the pond several times throughout the day.

Flying south for the ... summer?

The picture of Landon in the big chair reminds us when he comes to our house. The minute he thinks Bob is going to sit down in the big chair, he will fly by him to get to the chair first. He then sits down and has a look on his face of not here buddy its my seat. He also has a remote but we give him one with no batteries.
