This week we took Charlotte down to St. Louis to visit her grandpa. Unfortunatly he hurt his back a couple of days before our trip, and we didn't know he was injured until we arrived. Sadly, his medical visits kept him pretty much out of the picture. All we could do was make the best without him.
While he was at the doctor's office Char...
Almost crashed his lawn tractor:
Took her first walk on his pontoon boat (note the "fancy" lifejacket Char purchased just for this occasion):
Took her first swing in his hammock:
And even got Mom to swing along while Char ate cookies:
The highlight of our trip was on Wednesday when Grandpa was busy sleeping in late, and then later going to the "
kiiirotractor"; the three Monsons went to the St. Louis Zoo.
We saw the hippo:
We saw the elephant:
But meeting and brushing the goats was a much bigger deal:
Charlotte "hugs" animals by laying her head on them, and she "hugged" every "Nice goat!" at least twice:
Yet again, by far, the star of our show was a fountain. Luckily Daphne always packs a spare set of clothes in Char's diaper bag. When Charlotte felt the cool shoots of water in the 90 degree heat, all bets were off:
Grandpa was a lot like those gysers in the fountain, you just wouldn't know when he would disappear for another appointment:
But when he did appear; he did make a big splash upon Char:
