Day 2 at Grandma and Poppy’s house

 

On Sunday Great Aunt Pammy, Great Uncle Tommy and Great Aunt Louise came over to visit for a BBQ.

We love the tree Ally is posed it front of – its so unusual. Aunt Pam brought Ally a cool sticker book, a new card game and a new Pez.  Aunt Louise gave Ally a really delicious lollipop. Thank you!

Its not a family BBQ without a game of croquet.

Ally’s form leaves room for improvement, but she had fun and when you’re 6 that is what matters.

After croquet Ally put on a little gymnastics show, and Aunt Beth helped her do the wheel barrel.

Poppy Dave’s birthday was this week, so we got a cake and celebrated early since we were all together. Ally got her first taste of a jelly fruit slice. She basically just sucked the sugar off and then threw it away.

After lunch it was time for more games. Aunt Pam and Aunt Louise were great fun to play with.  Then Ally and I settled in to watch the first group bowl on the Wii.

Ally WON! She schwooped, Aunt Pam, Aunt Louise and Mama.

After bowling, like all good athletes, its important to hydrate and refuel your body. Ally wanted to juice another orange.

Before they left I got group pictures. Tom, Pam and Ally, and then Aunt Louise and Ally.

Before bedtime Poppy read Ally books. She had brought a Spanish book specifically for him to read to her. Poppy was such a good sport – he read the entire book in Spanish (and its English part as well). Ally laughed and laughed at his attempts to pronounce the words in Spanish.

I was and am so appreciate of our relatives support in having Ally learn Spanish.

Thanks Poppy!
