Old Friends = Good Times

 

Last Saturday we headed up to Josh's old stomping grounds, Hampton, IA to visit with Garrett and Holly Winters.  Josh and Garrett went to high school together.  They have a little girl, Alayna, that is turning 4 very soon.  Olivia and Alayna became fast friends.  Alayna showed Olivia where all the toys, dress up clothes, instruments, etc. were kept.  Olivia would just follow her wherever she went. 

While we were up there, we had the girls paint and carve pumpkins.  This was Olivia's first time handling the pumpkin guts.  She actually liked doing it! Don't let that face fool you!!!


Papa Steve and YaYa (Garrett's mom and dad) took the girls around the farm to do chores. YaYa had farm clothes to put on.  They looked really cute.  They rode in a golf cart around to feed the dogs.  For their reward for being big helpers, they got to pick their very own apples!!!

The girls also put on a musical show for us.  They found a basket of musical instruments.  They would take turns playing different ones, marching around the living room.  They happened to find 2 harmonicas, I bet they played those things for 15 min straight!!  It was music to my ears.

We wanted to say a great big Thank You to the Winters family for the wonderful Saturday!! We had a great time!!
