Made it to Grandma's and had some awesome lasagna and apple squares. The lasting highlight of the visit will be Christopher's adventures on the recliner.....he finally got the recliner deployed, and then crawled down on the floor to check underneath it, and, then, later, he has his giant pencil and is fishing under the recliner trying to get something
Dad "What are you doing?"
Cpher "Getting the $20 that's under here"
Grandma "??? There's not $20 under there!"
Cpher "Oh yes there is!"
So, Christopher is still 'fishing'.....Kevin comes over to help out, and Grandma is saying, no way, there's not $20 under there. Kevin looks under and confirms that, yes, it is money, and finally helps Christopher claim his prize....cold, hard, US Greenbacks. Twenty of them.
Christopher, earlier, had discoverd Grandma's two stuffed animals, one, Franklin, a smaller version of the big cat that was no where to be found during out stay (thus, avoiding some serious science-ing and a painful introduction of claws and teeth to Heckyl and Jeckyl's science efforts) and, more importantly, a walrus that had captured Christopher's interest and started some not very subtle discussions about how that walrus might look better in Okemos, not Ohio.
Grandma, quick to seize an opportunity to cash in on the situation(!), offered to 'sell' the aforementioned walrus for a cool $20. Christopher, with walrus in his eyes, quickly agreed, and both parties walked away happy. Joe and Mom spend some time trying to figure out which of their guests may have misplaced $20 and come to the conclusion that it had to be one friend, but, it was surprising that it was only $20, it probably should have been $50 or $100! Can only imagine the big guy's expression if he would have stumbled across those big bills!
Got home around 9 pm. Boys very happy to be home....cats very happy to be released from their imprisonment in the house....cats not very happy to have the resumption of collection for science-ing.
