Lunch with Dada Jeff

We had lunch with Dada Jeff at General Mills today. It wasn't as hot as it's been recently, so we took advantage of the weather and sat outside for our meal. Both kids loved sitting right next to the water and both kids learned very quickly how their loud voices echo because of the water. Graham treated the entire General Mills patio with several LOUD renditions of Barney's "I love You" and Amelia just enjoyed listening to herself giggle.

See how happy Amelia is after she's fed? Our girly loves to eat

Jeff was a bit taken back by the number of layers and amount of fabric in Amelia's skirt. I think it looks cute, and I'm thinking Jeff probably does too (although he won't admit it!) but here he is studying Miss Amelia's ensemble for the day.

Scattered around the General Mills campus are various large sculptures. One of them, is an enormous bronze man, and it's visible from the highway. Each time we pass the statue, Graham waves, and each time we visit Dada Jeff, Graham begs to "hold the man". Well, the sculpture is clearly too big to hold, but we did let Amelia and Graham have an up close and personal encounter with this specific piece of art.

What a nice Daddy to talk a walk with the kids in the middle of his busy day!

We made it!

Amelia is clearly impressed by the size of the statue. Here you can see her head barely peeking out over his foot!
