Call us crazy, but John Thomas and I might have been the only people in Knoxville who chose to go north for Spring Break. I had no idea how to pack and was only hoping that it would be warm enough to enjoy a little bit of fresh air while we were there. Boy were we surprised! Green Bay actually had record-breaking heat all week! No kidding, we even saw eighty degree weather! My little jet-setter did super on the plane rides. You can, no doubt, tell that he thinks he's pretty cool stuff globe trotting all over the place.
Gramma and Poppy had quite the week planned out for us. We ate so well, I think I even gained a pound or two. And John Thomas and his Gramma are peas in a pod.
My parents have a huge yard that has a view of Green Bay. John Thomas wanted to walk the field every day, and on most days twice! Gramma also helped him ready for Easter egg hunts. She was running a regular egg-hunt boot camp. Be forewarned, this boy leaves no stone left unturned when it comes to finding all those hidden treasures!
Gramma and Poppy also thought John Thomas might enjoy some time on a three-wheeler. That look on his face is sheer terror. He rode it for all of about ten seconds all week!
We also discovered a local playground that happened to have a few of his favorite things: swings, merry-go-rounds and dinosaurs (or as John Thomas calls them, "dinos")!
This was one of the sunsets we got to take in from my parents back porch. Green Bay is such a beautiful place when it's not covered in several feet of snow and so cold your eyeballs freeze in between blinks.
Poppy even did a little handy work and built John Thomas his very own plane while we were there!
And, John Thomas didn't waste a second before he took it on a test flight.
Sound effects and all!
Over the couch.
Up, up and away! Thank you Gramma and Poppy for such an awesome week! We couldn't have asked for anything more!
