Pizza Pie and Splash Pad




Dear Henny, 
Summer seemed so short yet we jammed in as many day trips as possible.  One we couldn't leave out was a visit to JoJo, your birthmom.  We took the leisurely 45 minute drive over and the minutes and miles couldn't roll behind us fast enough for your liking.  We arrive and you're happy to see they are still tucked away in their cozy cabin and you and Hazel jump out and take off leaving me to shut the doors.  T shows you their kittens and JoJo tries to convince me to take one, while cute, no thank you!  After hugs and quick catch up we decide we are all hungry and we need pizza NOW.  The Pizza Hut we had eaten at before was closed down and in a little town with few options we back tracked to Anthony's Pizza, JoJo saw along the way.  It turned out to be a a gem with great food and even better service.  They sell by the slice but when I told the guy I needed to feed all 4 kids and two mom's he cut me a deal of a GIANT pizza, breadsticks and drinks.  
We even had enough left to share with our husbands later.  After lunch we went to a local park and played there for a bit.  Then we ran around the skate park.  You and T had races together while Hazel and Josiah slid down the side and got sweaty.  





After feeling like we were trapped in an oven, JoJo pointed out the free splash pad and we all said yes!  It was a great splash pad and we had it all to ourselves.  I loved seeing how you and T played together this time, clearly completely and utterly happy to be in each others time and space.  You hugged tightly while anticipating the bucket of water crashing down over your heads. 

 On the way home you went on about how you love how cute and tiny Josiah is and how soft his hair is, which you kept petting.  We had a really fun easy time together, as always.  I am so glad we got to see them before school started.  








We love our JoJo and the boys.
Love, Mama
