What Really Excites My Four-Year-Old...

It was quite an eventful weekend, as it always is when we venture back into the land of the bluegrass. This weekend was particularly busy and fun-filled as Papaw Larry and Miss (now Mrs.) Sheila got married outside at a beautiful chapel in Stanford. This meant that the boys got to play outside for hours at the rehearsal and then at the reception, which they LOVED. There were lots of rocks and dirt, a stream, and other neat places to run around and drive cars over.
And of course, it is always a blast to stay at Granny's house, because she has the best toys and well, Granny is there. To top it off, Aunt B stayed at Granny's house with us on Saturday night, the boys got to play at a new (to them) park today, and Caleb got to bring home the tool bench from Granny's house that she got him. Oh, and did I mention, we saw a plethora of tractors, moos, and barns on the trip. What could be better for a four-year-old and his eighteen month old brother?

I guess I overlooked the real thrill.

As we were on the road driving out of Casey County, I turned to Caleb and asked what his favorite part of the weekend was. Expecting an elaborate recap of any of the aforementioned activities, I sat back ready to listen. Instead, Caleb simply said, "My favorite part was eating ALL of those mints!"

Wedding mints. That was the highlight of Caleb's very active weekend. Why am I not surprised?!
