Another Fun Auburn Weekend

Last weekend started off with Mommy and Jack relaxing at home Friday morning. He is happiest once he's gotten his morning milk, so we sat together watching Hi-5 while he drank his warm milk. He was in such a good mood I decided to snap a couple of pictures!

No hands!

Waving "Hi!"

Saying "Hi!"

We went down to Auburn later that afternoon after Daddy got off work and met Granna and Poppy at a new Mexican restaurant called El Dorado. It was very good, except the cheese dip (Jack's favorite part) was a little too spicy, so that was disappointing! Jack still enjoyed it, at least he did until 6 am the next morning when he started throwing up! :-( Jack threw up 6 times from 6 - 7:30! Poor baby! He seemed to feel fine except for the times he was actually throwing up, and he wasn't running a fever, so when he didn't throw up anymore after 7:30, we thought he was fine. This was the same day as the annual Lion's Club Pancake Breakfast in Opelika, plus the Garden in the Park, plus it was Poppy's birthday, too! We hated Jack's morning started off so badly, but we are so thankful he got better! Once we got to the pancake breakfast, we had to stand in a very long line, but the pancakes were definitely worth it! Jack even ate a whole one all by himself, and this was his first time to experience syrup! He loved every bite!

After breakfast, we walked across the street for the Garden in the Park. They had a bunch of tents set up with stuff to buy, plus we saw our friends The Taylors selling clothes to raise money to adopt a baby! :-) We wanted Jack to be able to ride the Rocky Brook Rocket Choo Choo Train, but it broke down after just one ride! Hopefully it will be up and running the next time we go. We did make the video the Opelika-Auburn News put together showing the highlights of the Garden in the Park! We are about 2 minutes in.

We had to put Jack down for a nap soon after, so we ran a couple errands, but then headed back to Granna and Poppy's house. Jack needed to get some rest so he would be energized for Poppy's birthday party that night!

For the party, we grilled out hamburgers and hotdogs, plus Granna made some mac n cheese and baked beans, and then we had brownies, homemade icecream, and Gigi's cupcakes! It was such a yummy dinner, and we were glad to celebrate Poppy's birthday! Jack still wanted to watch Elmo during the party, and he even did his famous dance to one of the songs called "Zydeco"! It was hilarious!

Sunday we had lunch with Granna, Poppy, and Mimi at Country's Barbecue. Jack didn't sit well for long, so we entertained him in their huge rocking chair! He loved it!

After lunch we went to see Granny, Granddaddy, and Pops on our way home. We had to check on Pops since he's had a partial knee-surgery (long story), but he has to give himself an IV to clear up an infection in his knee, and then when that's clear he will have the full knee surgery. He seemed to be doing ok, but we still need him to get better! We always have a great time in Auburn, and we can't wait until the next time we go back! Thanks to Granna and Poppy for letting us stay with them again, plus all the yummy meals they provided!!
