Did you notice something special about the latest videos on the blog? A certain absence of non-stop chatter, maybe? That's because I went up to Ohio with Grams for a week. She casually mentioned it to mama and mama and I had my bags packed in 30 seconds flat.
Papa wasn't happy that mama sent me away as soon as he got back from his week in Winston Salem, but I had the best week ever! Why am I wearing this helmet?
So PawPaw and I can talk when we're out on the trike! (Don't worry, mama, we didn't go anywhere. PawPaw wants you to let me come back again.)
Here's something more suitable for kids. Sadie and I went to visit GG and GG. Lucky for us, it was raining at our rendezvous, so we had to take shelter in a Chucky Cheese.
I rode in this helicopter all afternoon. After this, we went to SKyline Chili for supper and then to Aunt Girl's new apartment to swim in her pool. I've declared it many times over as the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
I'm not sure how Grams did this, but this is a cool compilation of me at the Harding Memorial.
We decided to take a tour of Marion's highlights and there were a lot of great things going on in Marion! Here I am on President Harding's front porch (and papa's former place of employment). It's hard to believe that a mere 100 years ago, a successful presidential campaign took place on this very spot. I bet it wasn't nearly as annoying as they are today.
We visited the old Marion Train Depot- a place none of us even knew existed.
It was closed at the time, but the old man running it let us go in. Rules Turner here was very worried that we'd get in trouble for going in after hours. I was relieved that we didn't get arrested.
While we were there, multiple trains went by just feet away from us.
We even got to see two trains go by at once, in opposite directions, a personal favorite of mine.
I quickly declared this the SECOND BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!
Grams told mama I couldn't stop grinning and hugging her, it was so exciting.
Back at home, I was put to work to earn some money. I had to do a bunch of chores before the end of the week so I could earn a Lego set PawPaw and Grams got me. Their yard is now free of sticks and the Lego boat is mine.
I also got to play my favorite game for the Wii- Walk It Out. It's the perfect video game for me. I get to play video games and I probably average walking 3 miles every hour I play. It keeps me happy and I'm exhausted by the end of the day. Plus I get to show off my awesome dance moves. This is exactly the kind of game someone with Seibert blood needs. Just this weekend, mama got brave and played Wii Tennis. She hit her arm on a railing so hard that the doctor there thought she may have broken it. All she got was a nice bruise and an evening of embarrassing ribbing.
On my way back home, we met papa in Cincinnati to spend the day at EnterTRAINment Junction- a train-loving boys' dream. (THIRD BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!). We don't have any pictures, but I did come home with a train pencil sharpener.
Why was Papa in Cincinnati?
Oh, just to see this guy!
At this ballpark!
If you haven't figured it out by now, Paul McCartney played a show at the Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. At the very last minute, mama got papa tickets to see it for an early Christmas present. She immediately regretted not finding a babysitter for the girls and also getting herself a ticket as papa declared it the best concert he's ever been to. Mama was excited to get a phone call to listen in when Paul played her favorite Beatles song and our long-time lullaby "I Will." The only shadow on an otherwise perfect evening? After papa explained to the girl sitting next to him that Paul was playing Beatles songs, she asked him (seriously!) if any of the Beatles were still alive.
