Mommy and Daddy head for the mountains…

…and Connor heads over to Mimi and Grandpa’s house.  This marked the first weekend that Mommy and Daddy were away for Connor for more than one night (together).  We missed our little boy, but he was in good hands with Mimi and Grandpa which allowed us to relax and enjoy a weekend together.

While we were gone, Grandpa decided to put the “full court press” on Connor and teach him something so that “he could make it on the blog”.  Ahh, Grandpa wants to make it on the blog.  Well Connor, tell him that Daddy is going to start charging for “appearances” on the blog — we have to pay for your college tuition one way or another.

Back to the story….Connor and his cousin spent the night at Mimi and Grandpa’s house (a first for that) and had a great time!  So much so that when Brenna left on Saturday morning, Connor was upset.  On one of his trips out, Grandpa taught Connor how to say “up we go”.  He was at Lowes/Home Depot (Grandpa let me know which one so I can get the story correct) and Grandpa was taking him out of the basket.  He said “Up we go” and kept repeating that to Connor.  Soon there after, Connor was saying, “up we go”.  When we arrived at Mimi and Grandpa’s house, Grandpa had Connor demonstrate what he could say:

Grandpa said, “Connor…up we go.”

Connor said, “Up we go.”

Connor was thrilled and let out a big smile, Grandpa was proud, and Mommy/Daddy were surprised.  Great job Grandpa and Connor!!!!

Here is a picture of the farm we stayed on…it was gorgeous even though it was mostly cloudy and overcast.  This picture was on our Saturday morning walk and as you can see, the sky/sun were cooperating.  We stayed just in the back of the barn, near the swing set.  Next time we can take Connor and so he can see the cows, goats, geese, and deer.
