This past Saturday was Jeff's (Pop Pips) birthday - & to celebrate, Jeff decided to take all the kids to the mall to ride the carousel. See - riding the carousel is one of Lydia's favortie things to do with Pop Pips & Grandma Ne Ne (Lindy)... She can't make it without her weekly carousel fix. So - the McIntyre clan headed out to the mall for lunch & a carousel ride. This may sound silly - but after all these years I've never been on or near that carousel! How many years has it been in the Champaign mall? Guess I've never had a reason to use it, and with four kids, zero time to browse the mall - let alone a carousel ride. So, I must say that this was a grand experience for me... & not because it was new. Instead, because of how happy & excited my babies were. They LOVED it... & that always makes me smile. :)
Thank you Jeff & Lindy for the many carousel rides. We hope that Jeff had a Blessed Birthday!
That evening Ami invited us up for meatlaof (which she made) & my favorite, POTATO BAKE!! Yummo... It was all wonderful. That Ami can cook :) I wish I'd have taken pictures to share of our time up home with Mom & Dad... Hopefully this coming weekend as we celebrate my Mom's birthday, I'll be able to sneak some great family shots! :) Then I'll plaster them all over my blog & facebook page! Love you all & miss you tons! You're the greatest.
What a great grandpa that his wish for his birthday is to spoil his grandkiddos. How cool!
