Our Grandkids Came to Visit!

Our grandkids and daughter Michelle spent 4 weeks with us in September. We had a long list of things we wanted to accomplish while Michelle was in town, but with two adults caring for two children, we never seemed to have time for anything! I don't know how she survives on her own in Chicago! We managed to work on several quilting projects, do some cupboard cleaning in my kitchen and pantry, get Daphne's shots, get Dayton's haircut, work on some trick-or-treat bags, and a few other things...

Gary played Michelle at ping-pong and tennis, and kicked her butt at both!


Fair
We went to the Puyallup Fair.
Because I'm his Nana, I got to spoil Dayton with ice cream and an elephant ear.































I took Dayton on his first carousel ride.














And Gary took him on his first train ride, which was the highlight of his fair adventure. He LOVED the 'choo-choo.'































Walks
We went for some hilly walks with the dogs and kids for exercise. Whenever we left the house, Dayton requested to go back to 'Nana's houf.'















Goals
Derrick gave me two goals to accomplish during their trip:
1. Get Dayton to feed himself.
2. Get Daphne to eat solid foods.

I accomplished the Dayton goal on the first day he was here.
He can even feed himself cereal in the morning.




















I worked on Daphne, and she's eating a little better now.
Here she's disgusted with peaches.


























Airplane
We spoiled the kids with toys (most from when our girls were little). Gary got a remote-control airplane for Dayton, which they enjoyed for a few minutes before crash and burn.































Phantom
We all went to Seattle and saw the Phantom of the Opera. It was spectacular.



















And here are some extra fun pictures of our beautiful grandchildren.
Come back and visit anytime!
