on the road with grandma part 6

We finally had a change to visit the new park in town in our quest to visit a differnt park each week.

 I pushed the merry go round and the next day wondered why my legs were achy; the merry go round is hard to push, I quess to keep the little ones from falling off.

 L flying like a butterfly.

the park has a waterfall, a stream and a small wading pool at the end. We floated leaves and twigs in the stream and then grandma had to go wading to clean out the drain so the water wouldn't overflow the pool.

last day of the farmer's market

 C and I went to the last day of the farmer's market in her town. There were vendors selling

crafts, food and of course animals. Not that I could buy a chicken, goat in a tutu, bunnies or goats and still live in my suburban neighborhood. I came close to getting in trouble because my house was dirty from our hot dry summer, can you imagine what the trustees would say if they saw all these farm animals in my back yard!!! I would probably pick the goat (so I wouldn't have to mow the grass) and the bunnies because they are just so cute!

books of October

Plain Jane was good. Several red herrings in the story.

 



Wildflower Hill was very good. Liked the two different stories going on. This was our bookclub selection. I didn't read much in October and I don't know why. It seemed like I never had time.

Grandparents Day!

 Grandparents day is a big deal when you are in kindergarten. There are papers to color, words to find, the chance to show off in front of Memaw, Pawpa and Grandma.

 D's older cousin A also goes to the same school, the older kids went to the youngest kid's homeroom so Memaw and Pawpa didn't have to run all over the school.

wow, look I'm in a photo!!!!



Blessing of the animals

today was the blessing of the animals at school. Hoopy got to go, no one thought to bring Larry, the lizard.

 

 Hoopy getting sprinkled with holy water, didn't hurt that D got some too.

On the road with grandma part 5

 another beautiful day and another great park. D is getting over her fear of the slide.

Every time she comes down she says " I'm brave!"

 trying the rope walk

and we can't forget the swing.

D at the firehouse

D's pre school class went to the neighborhood fire house since

October is fire prevention month. She said she liked sitting in the

driver's seat of the firetruck but they wouldn't let her work the siren.
