Visiting Gramma

Gram is working hard


Rachel loves Sarafina



Last Thursday, we surprised Gramma with a visit. It had been awhile since we'd seen her, so we made the trip to Snellville. She was surprised but glad to see us. Since it was nearing the lunch hour, she was already downstairs watching Divorce Court with another friend. We went out into the courtyard to see the fish in the small pond, which the kids LOVE doing. Rachel and Bradley loved getting as close to the edge as possible and standing on the little rocks that surround the water. This made Gramma very nervous, though, and she kept saying, "get down off that" or "you're gonna fall in..." After a small walk around the path, Bradley put her to work and had her pushing him on her walker. Gramma insisted that she didn't mind, but I'm betting that 30 extra pounds on her light little walker was quite strenuous. We went back inside when Gramma was concerned that it might be time for lunch and also, I think the kids were making her nervous, being so near the little pond. So, we hung out in the tv room with Gram and her friend for a few more minutes. Then, we headed to nana and pop's for lunch and play time. The kids were so excited to be there and play with all their special toys. Neither one wanted to eat lunch because they were so excited. We played on the playground and then took a walk all the way around the back of the property. It was a beautiful, warm day and lots of fun!
