Granpa Roehrig Comin' to Town

Saturday we spent the day with Granpa Roehrig. We love when he visits because we are able to stay at home and enjoy the company of family. The kids love his visits as well. Max talks about Gampa Rogig for days before each visit. We tell Noelle that Grandpa Roehrig is Tom's dad, and she definitely seems to grasp the concept. Books are a favorite in our house, and Grandpa always helps replenish the bookcase.

We ventured out to get some ice cream and tried out a park in the area. Of course I didn't bring my camera but some great pictures would have been yielded. We were the only ones there, which made Noelle ecstatic, and it was a great find in the park category. The park had a merry-go-round, which seems to be an endangered playground staple due to the lawsuits prevalent these days. The kids loved going around, and Tom even went around very fast on it, much to the amusement of the little ones. There were playhouses, teeter totters, swings, and a lot of other fun things that kept the kids amused. Noelle had to go to the bathroom, but she was scared of the restrooms for some reason, and said she would just hold it (which she did).

Noelle wanted "Special Puppy," to be included in the above picture. We are planning on making a trip to Sturgis in the next few weeks to visit the Roehrig clan, and definitely look forward to it.
