Makin' Molars isn't Fun When PopPop is Visiting

This past weekend PopPop was visiting.  The weekend started off great...Saturday when he arrived we had Bourbon Slushies and White Chili with fresh Italian bread for lunch.  Couldn't get any better.  Once Mitchell woke up from his nap we decided to head down to the Lancaster County Fair, the last one in the whole state of Ohio for the season.  Reese has been waiting for over a year to go to this one.  Once there it becomes super blustery.  But with only a 20% chance of rain why worry, right?  Note:  on the way to the fair I casually commented how they always get bad weather in Lancaster.  In addition, it was super muddy, and Mitchell wasn't really prepared in the shoe department for that.  Plus one slip and we're doomed-he's all mud.  But he enjoyed two rides (another note:  due to inclement soil conditions and weather, the two rides averaged out to $5 a piece...our worst average yet!).  Here's one of the rides.  That's right...it's the back of the CRAZY BUS for the Koons boys!!

After the two rides we meandered over towards the animals only to discover they had already gone home.  Well, that is with the exception of a few turkeys and rabbits.

Oh look, a clown.

That's right.  Daddy hates clowns.  And apparently Mitchell does too because he won't look at the clown and practially becomes hysterical by the time the red balloon dog is handed off.

Ironically enough it looks like it was sunny in the clown picture.  I don't think it was, but if there was a fleeting moment of sunshine it quickly ended and skies became more blustery and it started to rain. Farmers were literally running out of that place with goats in their arms.

So we packed it up and headed home, the skies of Lancaster literally black behind us!

Makin' teeth, especially molars, must be excruciating.  With the removal of my wisdom teeth freshly in my mind, my heart just aches for my poor little man and these 2nd molars.  He's rarely out of sorts, but these last several teeth have been tough on him.  So unfortunately we didn't get to do a lot more for the weekend and PopPop's big visit.  We tried going to the lake twice but Mitchell didn't want to do that.  There was a brief couple of hours on Sunday where he hung out with the men while they were stacking wood.

Sorry PopPop, that I wasn't feeling well for your visit.  But we're glad that you came.
