Gwyn was excited to be done with family pictures AND lunch - why??? Because she was coming home with us for a couple of nights!! It wouldn't be as long as some years when she comes down but due to time constraints, this is the best we could do!
We had a quick stop (right - is ANY stop a quick stop??) in Co Springs so Gwyn could get a smoothie and I could get a caramel frappe! Papa wanted a malt so he could drive at the same time - nope - this McDonald's doesn't serve malts so had to get him a sundae!! It took FOREVER!
Gwyn quickly changed her shorts for pants and put on a sweatshirt when she got to our house - the temps are sure different in the mountains than in Denver!
I went to get a pack of cards to play the 8 game and realized that I had NOT used the deck of cards I had bought in Greece - WOW - the cards are absolutely beautiful!! (more on that in another post)
Papa took Gwyn for a ride in the razor - and yes, she got to drive!
Gwyn gets to pick her 2 dinner meals and I ALWAYS know in advance what she wants: 1 night is fish and the other night is cheeseburger soup! She watched Papa cook the fish out on the deck!
Papa decided to get in on the 8 game later on that evening! I'm sure I can legally say that I have played that game way over 100 times with the grandkids - and yet Papa said he had NEVER played it!!!! HMMMMMMMMM!
Gwyn and I BOTH had fun when I got out the tub of outside toys - we had started doing contests last year on how many times we could click the ball up and catch it! And yes, Gwyn always beats me!
This may be the LAST year that Gwyn gets to swing! All the other kids are too tall now and this year we realized that her feet drag on the rock if she doesn't lift them a little! Makes me sad!!
Papa insisted that Gwyn come out so he could show her how the log splitter worked - I'm not sure she was impressed - HA!
Last year when Gwyn was here, I took her up to Mike's house as they had a new puppy and she had so much fun with it - well this is the puppy now, all grown up!! Gwyn enjoyed throwing the ball and watching Zeb retrieve it!
Cocoa and coffee and cinnamon rolls - YUM!
And one last picture of the two of us (excuse the gray side - who knows????) before we head to CS to meet Jessi!
We met Jessi at Chapel Hills Mall and saw "Lilo and Stitch" - cute movie and a perfect show to enjoy with Jessi's free popcorn and drink for HER birthday!!
It was a fun but short time with Gwyn and hopefully next year will be a little longer!
