Sunday July 3

We went to church with Uncle Billy and Aunt Phyllis...

 After church we headed to lunch.

Now... back home to sit around and do nothing... 

And then to Ihop for dinner.

Looking back... we ate a lot!

 Grayden was flirting like crazy!

 The waitress even offered to take him home.

We had some bids from a few other waitressess too!

 More flirting...

 And look... Pals is across the street!

DOT DOG! HI DOT DOG! BYE DOT DOG!

Tomorrow is Aunt Margarets and FIREWORKS!  YAY!!

The Gillespie Family Reunion was Saturday July 2nd in Scott County Virginia.

Before the reunion started we stopped at the Bush Mill which was right down the road.

 After the Bush Mill we made our way to the reunion.

Grayden was getting a little restless while waiting for dinner... so we snuck out to the playground right next door.



 Don had to show Grayden how to use the rope...

 Back inside for dinner... still a little restless...

And goofy!

 After dinner it was back outside to run it all off!

 There were large flocks of birds that kept flying over... Grayden was mesmerized!

 When we got home Grayden was out like a light!

We had a fun day!

Finally to Kingsport!!!

Friday July 1st

 One of the first things we saw was Pals.

There are a couple of them around, and everytime we saw one Grayden would  yell

"DOT DOG! HI DOT DOG! BYE DOT DOG!"

everytime... never missed one!

 We also saw the Indian outside.  Dad said that the store used to be a trading post and that there used to be horse stables behind there that he worked at as a kid. 

Tomorrow is the family reunion...
