Marvelous Monday

The last full day that G'm and G'pa Garner were here we had some down home fun at the park. It was a warm day but the clouds were hanging around. This didn't stop Oliver. As a matter of fact, he was moving so much we didn't get many photos. This is unheard of! His favorite was the twirly slide, which we discovered that he loves to go down by himself. The first ride down he went with his Mama.
Clearly they don't make these turns for long legs!

Next trip down, Oliver insisted on trying it himself. G'ma was at the bottom, ready to catch him. He positioned himself at the top, turned around (just like the stairs at home) and WHOOSH, down he went!
Yes, his shirt came up and his belly rubbed on the slide but he didn't mind. Actually, HE LOVED IT!!!!

WHOOSH!!! Down he goes again. Can you see the speed through his hair?!
Oliver loved the slide SO much that he literally cried almost all of the way home since he didn't want to leave. We spent nearly an hour there and it was past time for lunch and a nap.

Here, Oliver and G'ma are reading Hop on Pop, one of Oliver's favorites!

Check out G'pa in his new threads!
G'ma picked this sweater and shirt up for him on our Girls Day Out shopping day. I think it is a great new look for him. He will claim that it is a come back from the '70's. Whatever it is, I like it!
G'ma surprised Keith with a new tie for Oliver. We took Oliver to Intertech Plastics to see Keith and then go out to dinner. We wanted to surprise him with his very own "mini me"
"I bring this meeting to order on behalf of my gold fish snack!"
Yes, we had a little fun in the conference room while Keith was on the phone.

Keith was so proud of his "mini me"!

Yes, if Keith could snack on Gold Fish all day, he probably would too. HA HA!!

Working Hard or Hardly Working?
After our visit at Intertech we were headed to dinner. We had some time to spare between the visit and dinner so Oliver, Mama, G'ma and G'pa strolled through Borders.
Oliver LOVES books, so he was thrilled to spend some time here.
Hmm.... what else do we have here?
YES! This is the book for me. Ten Little Ladybugs!
We went to dinner at Texas De Brazil and it was quite delicious. Poor Oliver was a little tired and cranky so he wasn't quite the happy camper we're used to, but he started out Loving It!
Occasionally Oliver will stop what he's doing just to smile for the camera. Here, he was eating a tomato and he put it down just for this grin. I love it!!!
