Though Matt has always enjoyed my mom and Steve, he could not wait to get to their house on Sunday. Why??? Because Grandpa Steve got Guitar Hero for his birthday. Though my honey loves TV, I have never seen him as engrossed by the television, as when he plays Guitar Hero. Our neighbor has it, and there was a time that he was playing it so much that I would ask him if he was going to see his girlfriend (aka Guitar Hero) as he walked out the door to Jeff's. :)
RyRy and Grandpa Steve jamming it!
Maddie and Daddy enjoy some quality time together. :)
On Monday we took a wonderful trip to the zoo. The highlight was watching the elephant get a bath. The bath was actually a high pressure hose. It was especially fun to watch the zoo keeper feed the elephant treats to keep him still during his bath. The way an elephant manipulates its nose to bring food to its mouth is just incredible!
I love my sweet family!Oh. . .there was one downfall to our trip. On the way there, we passed some city of DC workers cutting down trees and using a stump grinder. As we sat at a red light, something popped out of the stump grinder and flew onto my mom's windshield (her car is only a few months old), leaving a crack. I hate to say this mom, but I am so grateful we were not driving our minivan. Thanks for taking one for us! :)
