Gi Gi has arrived, and she brought some very special folks with her! Nana, Papa, and Uncle Bob came to town for Papa and Bob to rehearse and perform with a new gospel quartet they are involved with. Nana got some big, sweet smiles from Ben, and Owen was very excited to see his great-grandparents again!
During the day, we journeyed up to Hendersonville to swim at the hotel pool. It was a salt water pool, which I've always heard about but never experienced for myself. Well now I see what the fuss is all about. It was so nice to spend hours in the water and not feel dried out and smell like bleach at the end of the day! Then on Saturday we ventured out to the East Nashville Tomato Art Festival. It was hot as blazes and we only lasted a little while, but it is always nice to get out and about in the neighborhood. And, if I do say so myself, these two guys were the cutest little boys around!
Yesterday was the big day! Papa and Bob's quartet performed in Franklin, so we loaded up and headed south for the afternoon. I was impressed that Owen and Ben lasted through half of the performance before a dirty diaper (Ben) and a big burst of energy and a need to urinate in the bushes (Owen-he just loves using the bathroom outside!) called us away. We were able to listen to the rest of the performance from a back room. Both Papa and Bob have beautiful voices, and at the end of each song, Owen would clap wildly with a huge grin on his face. It's wonderful and slightly depressing to be related to so many incredibly talented people!
Tomorrow, we will all load up and head to Anderson to celebrate Gi Gi's birthday and introduce Ben to Granddaddy and the whole Shaw clan. It's a 6 hour trip, which has me a little nervous, but I'm up for the challenge and looking forward to seeing everyone. Wish us luck!
