Marc/Grandma Day 8/12/10

Marc has been asking when he can have a special Marc/Grandma day. Between our vacation and my Mom's work travel schedule, it has taken awhile, but we finally got a day scheduled. My Mom told Marc they could do pretty much whatever he wanted. He decided he wanted to go to the Meijer Gardens again. It was a really hot and humid day so they headed there first thing.One of the workers was nice enough to take a picture of Marc and Grandma together on their special day.
We got completely drenched playing in the water, but I bet he was keeping cool. ;-) Good thing we sent a change of clothes for him.
After the Meijer Gardens they headed to Red Robin for lunch (Yum!) Apparently Marc worked off all his energy at the Gardens and had to refuel because my Mom said he ate like he hadn't eaten in a week!
After refueling, they headed to a place called Naked Plates. It's one of those places where you paint pottery and then they fire it and turn into something for you. Marc chose to paint a plate. Then came the hard part.....choosing what to paint on it. He thought, thought, looked around, and thought some more. Finally he decided he liked the sample plate with a monster painted on it, so he decided to copy it.
I am excited to see the finished product! I am not sure who had more fun that day, Marc or Grandma. ;-)
