Papa and Grammy's visit

This past weekend Papa and Grammy came up for a quick visit...and they came bearing gifts.  Summer absolutely loved her new desk/easel and has since put her laptop on it and types really fast and really hard.

There is nothing better than grandparents coming to visit.  Summer took full advantage of the play time and welcomed Papa into her playhouse.
Welcome fall!  Overnight the high dropped from 78 when they arrived to a high of 58 the next day.  We bundled up and went to Skytop apple orchard and indulged in their famous apple cider donuts, delicious!
A baby chick had escaped its pin and Summer got to pet it before Papa reunited it with his family. 
 Wow sheep and goats!
What you can't see is the goose with a really long neck sticking his head far outside the fence.  Summer was momentarily stunned.
A walk with Grammy and Papa through the bamboo forest. 
Papa asked her if she wanted to go outside and play and she got ready real fast. 
This was Grammy's favorite part of the trip! 
We had a fun time.  The day after they left I took Summer to the doctor to see if her persistent cough was anything of concern and sure enough it was diagnosed as her 9th double ear infection.  She sure is a pleasant sick child.  In fact, she loves her medicine.  She askes for "mo" and I have to tell her that if she is "good" she can have it twice a day...after she finishes her meal.  Do I get a great parent award for that?
