With the help of Springfield, we turned a rainy, windy Saturday into a day of great, memorable, free fun! I got word that Bob and Larry would be at Lifeway, and I was not going to allow rain, snow, hail, pretty much anything, to keep us away! I knew it would just make Mac's day and that it did! It was not the busy, kids-running-around-everywhere scene that I expected it to be; therefore, we were able to get lots of Bob and Larry's time. Mac was truly enamored. Read on to see about the rest of our day...
This was an exciting day for the whole family...we all feel like vegetables are our best friends these days!
This was as soon as we walked in the door.
He could not be more proud than to stand right in between his best friends. He is their biggest 2 year old fan, I am certain :)
Still just tickled and delighted to be seeing the "real" Bob and Larry
Our next stop was to Mardel, a Christian bookstore owned by the Hobby Lobby company. Well, we went there to pick something up last week, and Mac discovered that they had a Thomas train set. He is obsessed with Thomas these days and played and played that day. So, ever since that day, he has asked us to go to the "train store." And to the train store we went! We sure enough busted right up in Mardel with the sole intention of playing with Thomas. We spent at least an hour in there. It was a great stop for me...I got to leisurely walk around the store and look while Mac and Sam played!
Putting the engines in Tidmouth Shed :)
Our day then led us to a car service stop at Toyota. Keeping the kids occupied in a service dept waiting area is not the easiest task. So we ventured outdoors for a walk in the blustery weather. There was a grocery store next door, so we went in for a stroll. Mac was thrilled that there was a buggy just for him. I had my hands full making sure he wasn't running into all of the random aisle displays.
We had a few other stops in the mix, but it was a great day, especially for Mac! So thank you, Springfield, for allowing us another fun family day!

cute cute cute. there is something so priceless about seeing delight on the face of a child...and when it is your child, well, it's even better! I wish every family on the planet could experience that kind of joy.
