Adventures with Grandparents: Part 1

As I mentioned in the previous post, last week I took AG and LL to spend two nights with Gran and PopPop. This was the first time they've stayed away from home without us there, and it was a great success!

SJ and I hung around for a few hours before we headed back home. I think this picture of them all on the porch swing captures so much of their current personalities...


One more shot before parting...everyone was full of anticipation of all the fun to be had over the next 48 hours!


During their stay, the girls enjoyed trips to the library, a picnic in the woods, picking blueberries and making blueberry pancakes, playing on the swingset and in the toy princess kitchen, getting ice cream, eating out at a Mexican restaurant, visiting the turtles that live in G and PP's yard, watching trains, and helping PP catch a possum in the cage trap.

T, SJ, and I went back to pick up AG and LL on Saturday. The girls were most excited to be reunited with their little sister!


SJ has become a champ at hugging. She wraps her arms all the way around our necks and sometimes even pats our heads or backs. She treated PopPop and Gran to hugs as we left that day, and I think they liked it. :)



Thanks, Gran and PopPop, for all the fun and taking good care of the girls on their first "sleepover"!
