Visit from Opa

It was a busy weekend so I fell behind in my updates a little, but I have a lot of pictures to post so here goes! As I mentioned in a previous post, Paul’s dad was here last week. We went to the Pumpkin Patch when he first arrived, then he went to work with Paul during the week so we didn’t get to do much. Then Friday, when Andrea was off school, we met Paul & Opa for lunch and then took Opa with us to the Imagine It! Children’s Museum of Atlanta. We have a membership there because Andrea loves it so much, and I knew Andrea would love showing off all the cool exhibits and things to her Opa. I didn’t realize Opa would have as much fun as Andrea though. 🙂 I got some great pictures of Andrea with her Daddy and her Opa on Thursday night before we took Opa out for dinner, and a lot more on Friday on our trip to the Children’s Museum. We had a great week, and hated to say goodbye to Opa so soon, but at least we’ll be seeing Opa, Oma, and the rest of our families soon over the holidays.

Can’t help but smile when you see this kind of laughter:

Showing off her painting of our friend who she calls “Mr. Todd” (he has spiky hair in case you were wondering):

Deep in thought from a turret in the fairy tale exhibit:

She told Opa to be the “ordering center person” and showed him where to stand (apparently that means cashier?):

One of the activities at the museum was a crown coloring craft, as part of the traveling fairy tale exhibit. Andrea insisted on wearing it to the car, of course. Here are some more cute shots of Opa and the little princess on the streets of Downtown Atlanta, on the way back to our car…

Check out the heart-shaped leaf – I almost died when I noticed it in the picture. Perfect!!!
