Chase & PeaPa's Great Friday (+ more)

Friday, May 15th, I went and picked Chase up around 8:00 am from Nana's house and our day began.

First thing we did was take the truck to Tommie Vaughan Ford to have the oil changed. I had a little surprise for him though because I have found a donut shop within walking distance of the Ford shop that has great food (Bakery Donuts). So....we walked over and had breakfast together. He had a chocolate sprinkle donut, a blueberry donut....and then discovered my egg, bacon, cheese, and ham croissant sandwich they make there. We ended up eating two of them together.

Next came a haircut trip. When we got to the SuperCuts place I told him I hoped we got the nice hair dresser. He kinda looked at me and then I told him that the nice ones cut your hair really easy while the mean ones might even cut off an ear! We then started betting on who would get a nice one and who would get a mean one. Chase even swears he saw "one ear" in the hair on the floor that one lady was sweeping up. We both got our hair cut and left with 4 ears between us....all attached in the right places. :)

Next we headed for the driving range and hit a bucket of balls together. Chase, when he really concentrates, can hit a golf ball....got some built in talent here.

We then went to Academy Sports where he spotted a pair of sunglasses he had to have. They were Wall E glasses...and fit him just right.

We proceeded back home and Chase 'helped' me wash my truck. He was in charge of rinsing and it promptly turned into an outdoor shower for him....and me.

Gabe and Shane came into town later that night and we spent most of the rest of the weekend with the boys.

Bowling at Dave & Busters on Saturday along with some other game playing there and a quiet afternoon.

Our next to the last event was breakfast Sunday morning at The Yale Street Grill where Great Aunt Barbara works. The boys both had chocolate chip pancakes and bacon....general vote was that they were really good.

We ended with some PeaPa steaks, twice baked potatoes, and fresh corn on the cob.
Time well spent with family (and some special time just for PeaPa and Chase)
