We had an eventful weekend. Jeanne was off this Friday so we added an extra day to the weekend. YEAH for us. Maci and I attended the Homecoming parade with Grandma Dunham. Maci loves to observe people, so parades are a natural fit. She thought it was a great time. We spent a couple hours at Grandma & Grandpa's house. She spent most of her time playing with all the toys. Madeline and Stella had to show her the ropes of where to find the cool toys.

Saturday we were off to the Alzheimer Memory Walk. We took POPO with us. He made it about 100 yards (his measurement) and turned back to find a nice shady spot to hang out while we walked the Long Branch Lake Dam. It was unseasonably warm this weekend for Missouri. We worked up a sweat. Maci took a nap! Then we headed to Grandma Jane's for the afternoon. Maci took another nap as soon as we got there. After her nap, Leah and the girls stopped by. We had to feed Shrimpy the bottle calf with Stella and Madeline. Stella and Grandpa Brad rode the 4-wheeler for a bit. Then we headed to Macon for Mexican. Stella rode with us. She gave Grandpa Brad lots of wet willies. He had both girls just cackling in the back seat. Poor Grandma Jane was getting squished by the squirming girls! Maci learned her one of her first bad habits of restaurant etiquette. She was out of her chair wondering about. We went to dinner early this night, but proves to make life hard the next day in Columbia! Then we spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa Young's. Maci watched Summer Magic (an Aunt Mary movie) she really likes movies with songs in them. She has just started noticing TV.

The next morning off to Columbia to visit the great-grandparents. We met them in Columbia for Great Grandpa Young's birthday (74th). Maci did very well for all the places we were dragging her about. She was ready to head home and just be free to play. For the first time I have noticed, Maci likes Grandma Jane and Grandpa Brad better than me. It was great when we were shopping because they had to tote her around. She may only weigh 21 pounds, but when shopping that is a heavy 21 pounds!

No my dad named the calf. And it is a girl cow.

Well if your dad named her, I'm surprised he didn't call her 'Boy'.
