More visitors

Calvin and Pop

Miss Martha and Pop came to visit as few weeks ago - right around Calvin's 10 month birthday.  I've been so busy I missed posting about it.

Pop spent much of the weekend on the floor with Calvin or carrying him around.  On Saturday we took Calvin to the Children's Museum so we could all watch him play.

Calvin had a great time and the rest of us had about as much fun as you can have at the Children's Museum.

On Sunday we took an extra long car trip to eat BBQ.  None for Calvin, but he did get this spoon.

As you can see he was very excited about it.

Then we pilgrimaged even further south to the house of beaver.  Chris has an unnatural desire to show this place to people from out of town.

we have a new Buc-ee's fan

If you don't know, Buc-ee's is basically a travel plaza that is off limits to truckers.  They have the normal stuff: gas, ice, meat snacks

and the not so normal stuff: a deli full of many different types of jerky, extremely clean bathrooms, a souvenir penny machine, and gift shop  You can buy everything from buc-ee coozies to cast iron skillets.  Martha got a lovely handmade tile.

We both have a soft spot with this convenience store, but probably because we were stuck down the road from one, camping at a state park on a rainy weekend.  We went to Buc-ee's no less than 3 times in those 2 days.  I am less inclined to take visitors there.  I would like them to come back some day.
