One of the very first things we did was to go out to Pop Pop's office and drive his excavators! Pop Pop really let's the kids turn on these machines and work the gears--every little boy's dream come true.
Ladies first...while Katie had her turn the boys waited in the sun.
Adam and Pop Pop
Patrick's turn
Sulphur is a slow, small town, but it has the very very very very best snow cones! This snowcone stand has been there ever since Mom can remember. I have many memories of riding in the back of Pop Pop's truck and driving thru the snow cone stand. I also have many more memories of friends, ten speeds, and snow cones! Every day in Sulphur deserves a snowcone!
The big debate of what flavor to get. Adam loves everything green, so of course he went with Mom's favorite--Popeye.
The only bad thing about the snowcone stand is that you always leave with funky colored teeth!
The snow cone building has always been painted this bright green, so you can't miss it when you go to Sulphur!
It was also Pop Pop's birthday when we were there, so the kids all helped to make Pop Pop a dirt cake. Here the kids are busy breaking up the Oreo's.
Aunt Allison figured out the best way to crush the cookies, with a steam roller!
We had big plans for this cake: lots of milk duds, whoopers, and gummy worms!
And then it had to be topped off with construction trucks--something Pop Pop knows all about.

Here we are waiting in line...

Patrick and Matthew went with bubble gum. One of the best ways to get your snowcone is half popeye and half bubble gum--trust me!

While we were busy grilling hamburgers and sausage. The kids were busy creating a "paradise." My boys love the song "Cheeseburger in Paradise," and since they were going to eat a cheeseburger for dinner they needed a paradise. I guess planting American flags in the ground in their idea of a paradise!
Oh well, it kept them very busy.
Happy 63rd Birthday, Pop Pop!

And just before we loaded up to head back to Texas, Patrick had to have one last ride on Grammy's John Deere.
