a surprise visit to Memphis

Memorial Day weekend BeeBe & PopPop came to Knoxville to visit and attend a wedding. Since the kiddos were out of school the next week (and there were other plans a-brewin', more to come) Miles, Audrey & I hitched a ride back to Memphis with them to stay for a while. We got to visit with both great grandmothers, and played all week with all the grandparents. We went to the Botanical Gardens and fed the koi with PopPop & Beebe; then later in the week went to the Pink Palace Museum with PawPaw Don. I thought the Pink Palace seemed a lot smaller than it used to be!
















One fun reason we headed to town was to celebrate my brother's 30th birthday. Kyle didn't know we were there, so I really surprised him when I showed up at mom's for his birthday dinner. I told him that we were going back home on Friday, since Wayne's birthday was that Sunday. Tricksters that we are, we were actually staying, and Wayne was coming all the way to Memphis to celebrate at Kyle's surprise fiesta on Saturday!

We had a great time visiting with everyone and will have to come for a long visit again soon.
Oh, this is Miles "sharing" Baskin Robbins ice cream pie with me. He almost stabbed my hand trying to keep it all for himself!
