Valentine’s Day, we headed south to log some quality time with the grands. We got there in time for dinner and enjoyed a delicious spread, followed by the flourless chocolate cake I made for Mike (and the rest of us) to enjoy.
For Valentine’s Day, I made Mike a flourless chocolate cake. It was good but oh so rich.
We spent the weekend hanging out and doing country things. Enjoy these pics:
We went down and spent the weekend at Grandma & Grandpa R’s.
It was great to visit with them.
Grandpa got this old moped running – for the first time in 20 years.
Wendy & Sam had fun playing outside.
This is looking out the back of Grandpa’s shed.
Working on the moped together.
A true country boy.
Daddy took a spin on the moped too. Made him miss his motorcycle and long for a dirt bike even more.
Hanging out in the backyard. Behind the fence is a cow pasture and beyond that the train tracks.
We went to this park/playground at Smith Mountain Lake.
Everyone loves a twisty tunnel slide
They all loved the swings.
Back at grandma’s house, Mike blew up this balloon like toy. It was supposed to float like a motorized blimp, but alas, required helium.
Instead the kids had fun pouncing on it and bouncing off it.
Adam especially had fun with it…
Until he bounced off and into a corner where he nicked his eye. 
Fortunately, he recovered quick, thanks to a meal and TLC from Grandpa.
Wendy had fun playing some tunes.
The boys
On the road again – time to head home.
