Memorial Day weekend we went to visit Grandma Debbie and Poppy. Aunt Beth came with us and we all took the train down Friday right after school. It was a late night – we did not get to sleep until 1130pm!
But Ally woke up ready to play Monopoly! She was a good sport as Poppy was the winner after several hours of play.
Ally decided she wanted to use my camera and take pictures of the yard. Sorry Aunt Beth – you got cut off!
After having fun climbing a tree Ally and Grandma Debbie made a strawberry rhubarb crumble. Ally helped with every step. Slicing the berries, chopping the rhubarb.
Measuring the sugar, being silly to my camera.
But I think the highlight for Ally was juicing an orange. She LOVED it. And they juiced a whole extra orange for Ally to drink.
Before and after pictures.
Beth, Becky and I went out shopping and while we were gone, Grandma and Poppy and Ally got creative in Poppy’s workshop. They built a trampoline for the doll house! And that is supposed to be Ally (a gymnast) to jump on it. Every time we visit they make additional gymnastic equipment for the doll house, the trampoline now joins the bars and balance beam.
As the day wore on Ally got really tired, which was no surprise since she is used to 11 hours of sleep at night and only got 8. As she was struggling with what to do, Poppy suggested bowling – on the Wii. It was a HUGE hit.
I even gave it a try.
As much fun as it was to watch Ally, I think listening to Debby make the phetttttt sound as the ball released was even funnier.
Finally it was bedtime and there is my family reading books before sleep time.
It was a great first day!
