Heritage Days

Today we went to Heritage Days in EGF, a little flashback to way things use to be done. There were demonstrations of wood planing, broom making, a little one-room school and an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. YUM! And lots of old tractors!

grandma and grandpa!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and they brought their puppy. Andrew's a little afraid because the puppy doesn't have manners yet. We're having lots of fun and Andrew's showing off all his tricks. Monday is going to be a tough day for me when they leave. He's getting kind of spoiled...

dill pickles

Here's some pictures of Andrew "enjoying" a dill pickle, which gave him the shivers. I can't get him to eat ANY vegetables, but a dill pickle he'll eat. And of course the more we laughed at his reaction to the pickle, the more he ate.

Tomatoes! Tomatoes!

Andrew is fascinated by my tomatoes plants. And so he decided to "help" me by picking a couple of them. Unfortunately he chose a couple that weren't quite ready to be picked and then banged them together like cymbals. Apparently he wanted tomato juice...

let's get grilling

We got this grill for Andrew a couple of weeks ago at a garage sale and he loves it. We, on the other hand, don't think it's so great. Did I mention it talks? It says many things, like "Hey, fire me up." and "Let's get grilling." and "Who wants their buns toasted." all the while it is making a loud static sound that is supposed to be the sizzling food. And it doesn't have an off switch. Who makes children's toys these days?? But the important thing is he loves it and grills all day long!
