Friday night we all went out to dinner - all 7 of us - to Black Eye'd Pea and sat around chatting & catching up for a while. Then we went back home for Cason to display his crawling skills & snuggle with his YaYa.

Saturday Cason, Mommy & the girls went to Franklin, Tennessee for some sightseeing and shopping. (Daddy took advantage of some downtime at home.) We had a great time - we "did lunch" at H.R.H. Dumplin's, then some shopping and of course (because it was so hot - wink wink) we had to stop for ice cream.

GranJan even spoiled the little man with his very first sock monkey. His name is Pogo!

After we left Franklin, we drove around downtown for a while to see the sights - The Country Music Hall of Fame, The Wildhorse Saloon, Music Row, etc. Then we stopped by Gigi's Cupcakes (Mommy's favorite) to pick up some "treats" for later.

Saturday night we were all exhausted, so we just hung out at home, eating pizza and watching football - and Cason of course! =o) GO JAGS!!!

Sunday morning, the girls went downtown to visit the Country Music H.O.F. , then we all met at The Farmhouse Restaurant for lunch.

The restaurant is located on the grounds of Fontanel, Barbara Mandrell's former home. It's pretty cool place - check out the website sometime (.http://www.fontanelmansion.com/). The three of us may make another visit there to take the grand tour.

The restaurant was very unique, and even had a live bluegrass band playing - only in Nashville!!! And the food was really good, too!

Cason enjoyed playing with his new buddy Pogo and trying to eat his Puffs - sometimes directly off of the table!!! He's such a little entertainer!

We headed back home for some rest time with full bellies and then had to say our goodbyes. So sad to see everyone go, but we know that we'll see them again very soon. Cason slept so good that night and was so happy that he has so many people who love him so very much!!
