John Grayson could not have been more gentle and nice to his new cousin. He had the opportunity to hold him and play with him; seeing that Jacob couldn't play back at this point he held his attention for maybe 3 minutes. When asked what he thought of his new cousin, JGray responded by saying, "He smells like potatoes". Seeing that we in the Schmitt household hold potatoes with high regard, that is certainly a compliment.Given the opportunity to spoil their Grandson the rest of the visit, Grandma and Grandpa Schmitt took full advantage. They were nice enough to let me sleep in on Sunday morning; when I woke up I came out to see my son with a lollipop in his mouth at 8:00 in the morning. I don't remember getting lollipops at that hour when I was growing up, I guess the rules completely change for parenting vs. grandparenting.
On Sunday afternoon we headed over to the Danada Fall Festival. John Grayson had a great time there. For the first time at one of these festival type things he actually wanted to get his face painted.
In case it isn't entirely clear from the picture, that is an orange horse with white eyes and a sparkling mane (all his requests). While seeing all the horses was a lot of fun, the highlight of the day was the straw play area.
Yup, it is exactly as it sounds, just a big area covered in straw. I never thought that it would be that entertaining, but he spent nearly a half hour playing with, diving in, throwing, burying him self in, straw. All in all a successful festival.At O'Hare airport as we were heading to our plane ride home, we came upon an amazing discovery. The Field Museum placed an entire dinosaur fossil in the United terminal.
It seems the only time that I can ever get him to pose for a picture is with some sort of dinosaur fossil. It was kind of cool to see the people rushing by in the airport seemingly noticing this dinosaur for the first time because John Grayson was making such a big deal about it.
