Karen, Logan and Kayleigh's Visit to HSV / Bapa's Birthday Bash

On Tuesday, 14-SEP, Karen, Logan and Kayleigh flew into Little Rock for a visit with Gram and Bapa and to help celebrate Bapa's birthday (one of those BIG ones). Logan and Kayleigh had fun playing with grandparents and old toys that their Mom (and her brothers) had played with. Kayleigh and Bapa are having fun on the floor.

Logan enjoyed playing the guitar (intensity and focus help).

On Wednesday, we went for a ride in the boat. Gram and Logan are ready to go.

Kayleigh and Karen are also ready.

Kayleigh enjoys that "wind blown" look. Gram said Kayleigh's blowing hair reminded her of a troll doll - for those of you old enough to remember.

Gram and Kayleigh are enjoying the ride across the lake.

On Thursday we drove to Gravan Gardens in Hot Springs, AR. We went directly to the children's play area. It's complete with rocks to climb on and water. Logan and Karen enjoyed the cool water.

As most little boys would, Logan got wetter the longer he played in the water. He had a great time. Luckily Karen had brought him a change of clothes - good planning.

Kayleigh and Bapa stopped next to a wooden carving. Doesn't look like anyone we know but at least it's happy.

Kayleigh also enjoyed sitting on the rocks.
We all enjoyed a stop by the waterfall.

"Back at the ranch" Logan had fun playing golf in the back yard. He carefully lines up his shot and selects his club.

However, every good golfer needs a reliable caddy. Kayleigh is up to the task. She has the bag, but where did those golf clubs go?

BAPA's BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. Karen and the kids made Bapa a special shirt for his birthday. Logan and Kayleigh's footprints are on the back of the shirt. Wow - it's one of a kind.

Friday evening for dinner we went to The Shack in Jesseville - one of Bapa's favorite restaurants. Wayne and Delma Jensen - friends from HSV - joined us at The Shack and later at Gram and Bapa's house for cake. Kayleigh and Bapa get ready to blow out the candle on Bapa's piece of birthday cake. Yes, it's Tennessee Sheet cake - what else?

Gram enjoyed reading to Logan each night before bed. Logan especially enjoyed "I Am A Bunny". He could almost read the book to Gram.

After Saturday morning at Balboa Beach, we took Karen, Logan and Kayeigh to the Little Rock airport for their return flight to Houston. Thanks for the visit. We'll see you next week!
