Papa visit

Cohen (and Dave and I) were lucky to get a visit from Papa Murphy this week. Cohen LOVES his Papa so the two full days he was here he was IN HEAVEN.
My dad got here Wednesday pretty late at night and both Cohen and Dave were already asleep but the next morning Cohen was excited (and a little shy since he just woke up) to see Papa. We got to go and show him the backyard, Cohen's favorite place to be. Then the three of us went to Home Depot where Cohen got an American flag, my dad got us some stuff for our pitiful garden, and at the checkout counter we were told Cohen looked a lot like his dad (my dad) and there was a little of me in there too. It was pretty funny. Then we ran to Target and picked up supplies for stores and then we went to Lowe's since Target was out of roasting sticks.
While Cohen napped my dad and Dave did work stuff and I finished up a project I'm working on for Cohen. After his nap we went to Safeway and picked up a couple things for dinner. Then we roasted hotdogs over our fire pit for dinner followed by s'mores for dessert with more outside playtime.
That night before Cohen went to bed Dave and my dad went to Cabella's and I did some drawing on my computer.

The next day my dad and Dave both had to be on calls and get work done. Both of them were done though a little after Cohen's nap so we went to Manitoba Park, again (we love it even more). Cohen even was allowed to do the splash pad part since we were prepared this time. He wasn't the biggest fan of it but got wet. He still loved running around the playground though. We also walked to one of the gardens there (which was GORGEOUS). After the park we stopped at Dick's Drive-in and got shakes/dole whips. We then headed towards home, picked up Panda Express, are, Cohen had a bath since he was covered in sweat and chocolate shake, and then we went mini golfing. Dave got a hole in one on the first hole and so did the rest of us, with Cohen's help. Pretty much every hole was we got one shot and Cohen would take it from there. Luckily all the adults all got one real whole in one by the end and Cohen was a happily little entertained guy while we played "bolf".
The next morning us Zauggs were up at 8 (who knows how long my dad had been up). Cohen got to hang out with his Papa for a half hour and then he was on the road.
We loved having him here and Cohen is still listing all the fun things we got to do while Papa was here.
