One of those days, they took off by themselves and explored Berea for the day. That's something Kris and I have been meaning to do since we moved to KY, since the one time we ventured down there, we took the kids. We quickly learned that artisan centers and shops aren't really the best place to take two kids under 5! :)
Another of the days (on my day off), Mom, Dad, Sam, Grace and I decided to take the Bluegrass Driving Tour. We printed off the directions, packed some snacks and took off. It was really interesting and I learned so much more about where I live. I'm embarrassed to say that we really haven't invested enough time in learning about our current city. I actually want to do this tour again with Kris along for the ride next time, so he can see all the sights that were new to me on this tour. It was also nice to do, because you take your own vehicle and can stop wherever you want for as long as you want. Mom hopped out (well, as well as a lady with a bum knee can "hop"!) a few times to take a few pictures. Actually, we all hopped out at Thoroughbred Park to get a few pictures there, as well.
Other than a couple of tourist-y things, we just enjoyed a few quiet days with Grandma and Papa before Sarah, Nate and the kids arrived on Friday night. I'm not sure how I missed getting a picture of the kids playing Sequence with one grandparent or the other, but I'm pretty sure Dad is ready for a nice, long break from that game! :) I did get a shot of the group building with Lincoln Logs, though...another favorite past-time of the visit...
More to come on the rest of Labor Day weekend with the whole group of visitors...
