Grandpa Comes To Town

Grandpa Bell wasn't able to make it to celebrate Jonas' blessing day but he did get to make an impromptu trip the day after and come visit us. We were quite surprised when he called and said he was about 4 hours away. Lucky for us we didn't have any plans so we spent the morning anxiously awaiting his arrival. Addison doesn't get to see Grandpa Bell very much but she warms up to him pretty quickly when he does come play. They were best buddies all.day.long. He even trumped Daddy (her latest favorite).

While he was in town we were able to take him to his favorite places to eat. Lunch at Long John Silvers with a side of fried okra for dessert. Then later that night we went to our usual Abuelo's for dinner so John could come along. Of course our day didn't just consist of eating. We did have lots of fun in between all the food.

This was the first time he has ever met Jonas so they got lots of snuggling in while he was here. They were able to enjoy a nice little nap together as well.


After naps we got to take a nice walk to the park with a ice cream treat along the way. This could be one of the reasons why Addison was so in love with Grandpa - she LOVES ice cream.


And Grandpa and Addison played blocks while we waited for Daddy to come home from work.

All in all, it was a nice little last minute visit with Grandpa Bell. Addison had a blast and I'm sure she's already looking forward to the next visit. Which hopefully will be much sooner since he may be moving to Kansas City soon. Yay for Grandpas!
