Daddy Daze Blog: A Trip to Mom-Mom's: A Blast from the Past

Since work allowed me to work from home on Friday I felt like I had a good amount of time just being around Renae and Logan. So on Saturday, after running with Andy, I thought it might be nice to surprise my mom with a visit from the little man since she hasn't really had some quality time with him in a while. So after getting all cleaned up we packed the diaper bag and hit the road.

Mom-mom was more than happy to have Logan down for a visit. My fun began when she got some toys for him to play and they just happened to be the same toys that I remember playing with as a little kid. Memories flooded me within seconds. The first thing was the Little People farm set that we had. I remember playing with that set on my parents old green carpet in the living room with the sun pouring in from the bay window. Some of the pieces were missing...but the memories were all there.

The second thing she brought out was a peg board that had very colorful stackable pieces in various shapes. As soon as I saw it I remembered being at my grandparent's house, because they are the ones who bought the sets, and playing with them down in their family room. It was cool to see Logan playing with toys that I played with 15-20 years ago. Here are some pictures from our fun visit with Mom-Mom:

Come on now! You know what I'm talking about...we are missing the farmer and the gates...o and I believe there was a siloh that went with the set...but this was still good enough for me!

You better believe her did not have a tough time taking his snacks from Mom-Mom

Here he even stopped in mid-stuff to look at the camera.

He enjoyed them so much, that he left a little bit on his lip for later....sorry it's blurry, but the smile was priceless in this one.

Than it was time to bust out the stacking blocks and board.

As you can see here, Renae and Mom-Mom had to protect the towers they were building from the tiny hands of destruction belonging to none other than Logan.
