Over The River To Grandmother's House We Go

On Monday, April 30, 2012, Charlotte and I went over to Kampsville, IL to see Grandma and Grandpa Schumann. They are the Mr and Mrs Kampsville, the Mayor and First Lady of Kampsville, the King and Queen. It was rainy on our way over otherwise Charlotte and I would have gotten out of the car on the ferry for her to see the "wah-wah". I wanted to get her picture on the ferry but that just didn't happen today.

We got to Grandma and Grandpa's house right around breakfast time. Grandpa has become quite a chef so he prepping breakfast for Grandma...so Charlotte and I had a bit too :) You know how she is, looooves to eat. After breakfast, Grandpa headed off to the office, Charlotte laid down for her morning nap, and Grandma and I caught up on stuff... lots of stuff. :) 

After naptime and visiting, we went up to the office to visit. Grandpa was HARD at work!

I love the expression on her face in this picture. It's priceless. She was talking to Grandpa.

The water bills are dropped off through the door at the office so Grandpa taught Charlotte about the drop box. She was so excited when she figured it out.

Check out Grandpa's shiner. Grandma fell a few days prior and skinned up her hand, sprained her hand, and bruised the whole left side of her chest and what not. Poor Grandma. Then Grandpa has this shiner. They are just quite a pair.

We went to the legendary Kampsville Inn for lunch... DELISH. Charlotte loved Grandpa.

He let her play with knives...

...and drink VERY sweet tea.

We had plenty of delicious food and I was completely stuffed. Charlotte was hyper off of sugar from the sweet tea. Afterwards, we headed back to the office so Grandma and Grandpa could catch up on their work. Charlotte played and watched Mickey. Uncle Terrill came to visit.

We then went for a ride on the official Village mule. We drove all around town and ran a few errands.

Charlotte thought she was so cool bc she got to help drive. We went up the street and got some ice cream. Charlotte loves her some ice cream.

Cousin Jerry came to visit as well and delivered Grandma's computer. We loved getting to catch up with him. He is hilarious :) Charlotte fell asleep in my lap while I played with her hair...and I fell asleep sitting up in a chair. Man, pregnancy makes me tired...

After naps, we helped Grandma run more errands in the mule. I could handle having one of them to ride around :)

Charlotte loves her some Great Grandma Millie. 

Around dinner time it was time for us to get on the road. We absolutely loved our day with Grandma and Grandpa. We loved going all over town with them. Charlotte loved being spoiled by them. Our only wish is that it would have been better weather so we could have been outside all day. 

Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa for such a great day!!! We love you! :)
