We went down to NC this past weekend to visit Papa Denning and Nonnie for Christmas. The kids were beyond excited :) Each kid got a special gift from them- a gift certificate to a local toystore in downtown Brevard, NC to pick anything they wanted.
Outside of OP Taylors Toystore. The kids had to look for the Nutcrackers to find the store.
Two stories of toys beyond toys
We each split up with a child.
I had Pres :)
Cohen and Caleb didn't venture much past the room full of Legos.
I think Zach enjoyed it too!
It was also a great learning experience because the children had a certain dollar amount they could not go over so at the end some at to put things back or add more things to their list. Papa Denning wanted to spend the exact amount on all the children. I think Cohen and Caleb both came back with some money because they were under their limit and Presley went over her limit but we used Cohen's money to make up the difference.
Great math lesson.... in between the excitement :)
Then ventured through Brevard and ate at this fun diner.
Cohen really wanted to protect his Legos.
We had a great trip and a great visit!
Thank you Papa Denning and Nonnie.
