Weekend for Pop

Late last week Keith received a phone call that his 93 year old Grand Dad's health was declining. It didn't take much thought to decide to take the gift of a three day weekend and make the seven hour drive to Sheridan, WY to visit him. We had the opportunity to visit him both on Saturday and Sunday at his place. Oliver was a champ and charmed him with his smile and giggles during both visits. He even sat with Pop and gave him some hugs. Oliver also had a great time playing with his cousins Lauren (6) and Kaden (4). Those three were nearly inseparable.

On Sunday, we all went to the Powderhorn club house for lunch. Oliver had it made! He was the only one with his own ride and driver. Notice the arm out the wagon window and the driver pulling with determined attitude.

Sassy Man, Oliver!

Pop requested fried catfish for dinner, so that's what we had.

After dinner, Lauren came running into the house telling her Dad that Uncle Keith can do more push-ups that he could. The challenge was on!

Come to find out, Keith was playing with the kids in the backyard and Kaden jumped on his back. Lauren said that her Dad (Brian) could do push-ups with Kaden on his back and Keith's response was that he could do more than Brian. Next thing you know, Lauren has the boys doing a push-up contest.

Here, Keith (middle child), Jeff (youngest child) and Brian (oldest child) are taking off in the push-up contest with Lauren leading the way.

Oliver had to get in on the action and coach his Dad. No distraction here, right?

Jeff finally gave in and let Keith and Brian battle it out. It finally came down to a tie. Neither one was going to let the other win.

Boys will be Boys!!!

After a great weekend with the family and visit with Pop, we headed home on Monday.

We stopped for lunch on our way home at Burger King. There's not much to choose from in Wheatland, WY. Oliver had a good lunch of Macaroni and Cheese with Apple slices. You would think that would be enough and then he decided that ketchup would be a great shooter. I found it so funny that I had to take a picture before we told him that ketchup straight from the cup is not a great idea. He seemed to like it though!

We had a great trip and Oliver was a great traveler. It isn't every trip that we can say that. To simply state it, Oliver was nothing short of a

SUPER STAR!!!
