Dexter's Adventures with Grandma and Gunker

After Ben and I had a restful night's sleep at Grandma and Gunker's, we headed off alone to Austin, TX where I had to present at a conference two days later. We stopped in Shreveport, LA for the night and then made it to Austin in time for dinner.

During our absence, Dex kept Grandma and Gunker very busy. Grandma took Dexy shopping for jammies and a cuddly toy for sleeping (Ben was in charge of packing for Dexter and somehow jammies and Quackers, Dexy's stuffed animal for sleeping, slipped his mind). Gunker took Dexy to check out the replacement boat they ordered after Sweetwater was destroyed by a fallen tree. The deck hadn't been repaired yet so they couldn't deliver the boat but Dex enjoyed making sure that it had everything that Gunker had ordered for it! They also took Dex to the Memphis Zoo where he got to ride the carousel and a real camel. Dex asked Gunker to ride the camel with him but Gunker told him that adults weren't allowed. When Dex got on the camel, they could hear him saying to the camel handler, "I don't understand this rule about no adults allowed!" Grandma and Gunker also took Dex to Chuck E Cheese and made a special Easter Egg Hunt for him with a Grumpy Birds basket and lots of goodies. Dex loved playing "egg store" afterwards, filling eggs with different treats for everyone.

We can't thank Grandma and Gunker enough for being so kind to Dex and My Bologna while we were gone.
