Missouri

It was great to visit Stacy, Greg, Katelyn, Mason and Gracie in Smithville with Nana last weekend. Sadie and Gracie are 2 peas in a pod. They had so much fun together, which was also a nice break for us. They played Polly Pocket, colored and watched Dora or Snow White most of the time. Gracie was so attentive and patient. She would do anything Sadie wanted to do and for how ever long she wanted to do it. We threatened to bring her home with us since she would be such a good babysitter.
We went to the Smithville High School football game on Friday, where Greg is head coach, Katelyn is a freshman and Mason will play football next year. It was cold, but an exciting game. Sadie and I stayed for the first 45 minutes or so before she needed to go to bed, but she clapped and cheered when the rest of the crowd did. She was really paying attention, because once she even said, "He caught the ball!"

On Saturday, we visited a pumpkin patch in a nearby town. There was a petting zoo and playgrounds for the kids (and some questionable singing talent). We had a grandfather driving our hay ride out to the pumpkins, who was a little crazy and I was sure we would end up covered in the mud that he splashed through. Sadie can't wait to see her cousins again!
