Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Larry braved the cold and rain to spend the weekend with Milo. On Friday we went to Ikea and they bought Milo a Milo-size chair. He likes to stand on it backwards, grab the back of it and shake it with all his might. (Not the quiet reading chair mommy had pictured.) On Saturday, G&G watched Milo master the pool, before we drove to Frederick. They were very impressed by his swimming prowess. On Sunday we went to the 38th Annual Maple Syrup festival in the Catoctin Mountains. It was freezing—but so much fun. We started with fresh pancakes served with (warm!!!) Maryland maple syrup, sausage and hot chocolate. Milo loved the sausage, but would not eat the pancakes. The food shack was great because there was a fire inside. (And an awesome bluegrass band.) G&G managed to stay outside for most of the syrup history lesson, but soon booked it for the fire. Not bad for a bunch of Floridians. They flew home Sunday afternoon. Milo misses them already. Grandma Nancy was great at reading stories and Grandpa Larry kept trying to steal Milo's food!
