Nathan had to work on Thursday and Friday and I had to work on Thursday until after lunch, so Grandma and Grandpa babysat Ben while we were at work. They had a lot of fun!
During the day on Friday, Brenda and Cary had an errand to run and stopped to looked at some antiques. They bought some really cool hand tools used for harvesting tobacco, which used to be a major cash crop in this area. There are still tobacco farms scattered about but they are much smaller and rarer than they used to be. On Friday evening, Nathan and I went to the Festival of Ales (a beer fest) in Lexington and Papa and Nana babysat again. We had a lot of fun and they had fun too! I am not sure who was more tired when we got home, Papa or Ben! I think they wore each other out!
On Saturday, we had lunch at a local diner in Burgin because we love their fried catfish. It is so yummy, even Ben loves it! Then, we went to a couple of different wineries in the area for wine tastings and to buy some wine. We finished up the day with ice cream from Dairy Queen, which Ben is always a huge fan of!
Nathan smoked pork loin on Sunday morning and we had that for lunch. It was delicious, as always! Then, we went to Boyd Orchard. When we got home, we took some pictures and played outside.
I had to work on Monday, so Nathan brewed beer and Nana and Papa chased after/entertained Ben. When I got home from work, we drove around to find a tobacco barn and field for Brenda to take photos of and we found a really cool barn and field next to each other that were just what she was looking for.
If you can't tell by the pictures, Ben had so much fun with his grandparents and we are pretty sure that his Papa is his favorite person in the world!
