We carved our first jack-o-lantern of the season with Granddad. He drew the face on it and cut the hole in the top. Nicholas started cleaning it out but he has never liked the stringy stuff in pumpkins so I had to finish cleaning it. Next, Nicholas used a punch tool to poke holes along the lines on the pumpkin's face. Then he was able to easily use a pumpkin carving saw to finish cutting out the face. I was impressed with what a great job Nicholas with his part but it was most fun because it was a team effort.
We went to lunch at Love and War in Texas for some good Texas-style cooking. Yum! While we were waiting for our food, Nicholas showed us how to "giddy-up in place" then he told us all it was our turn to do it. Believe it or not, Granddad got up out of his seat and did a little giddy-up for us (but he was too quick for me to capture it!) Way to go, Granddad!
Well, today is the last day of Granddad's visit. We've enjoyed spending time with him and we are sad to see him go. Nicholas gave him a big hug as we dropped him off at the airport. We love you Granddad!
