Father's Day Weekend

We have had the best weekend. Murray's parents got to come in town for a visit, and we have made the most of our special time with Mimi and PopPop! We went all over town showing them all of Cole's favorite spots.

Our 2 sleepyheads. Cole does get up early. Haha. Please excuse the bedhead. ;)

Our first stop was a surprise trip to Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum for Mr. Walter's Father's Day present.

Wonder what he was checking out?

Now you know! Lots of bats hanging from the ceiling.

The babe with the Babe... He wasn't too sure about standing this close, but we finally got a quick picture.

Mimi has had her share of baseball over the years with 3 boys of her own, but she is a good sport and loved showing Cole all around the museum.

Our boys in the dugout. All-stars for sure!

Of course we had to hit up the batting cages. Looking good Mr. Walter! He was so pumped to use Ken Griffey Jr.'s bat.

Checking Daddy out this time!

Daddy and PopPop worked hard to make our flowerbeds pretty. So nice considering they were supposed to be relaxing this weekend. I definitely appreciate their hard work.

Cole wanted to help too. He loved playing in the dirt and getting messy.

He can stand up by himself now from a sitting position. So big!

Such a dirty little boy!

After all that hard work, we took a break and went to the zoo. Cole took a little while to warm up to his first carousel ride, but by the end he was all smiles! Thanks Daddy & PopPop for taking him for a fun ride!

Checking out the baby giraffe.

Cole loves his Mimi... he was so sweet just wanting to hold her hand while he strolled.

Look at that big monkey... the one in the glass room. Haha.

I know it's dumb, but I was amazed at how tiny the baby ducks were. They had to have been just born.

Getting ready for a bath. Think he needs a haircut?

So, Murray and his mom went up in the attic, and Cole decided to join them. He climbed all the way up to the third step by himself before we stopped him. This boy is not afraid of anything.
