Grammie Camp Day 2
June 2, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
We did a Walmart run for some simple groceries for granddaddy. I took Libby and Lucy with me while granddad took David and Emily to the bank.

We dropped the goodies off at Juliet Fowler and also had to stop at central market for a potty break. We got water and a comic book for David.

Lunch was frozen pizza and Neil and Vela show. David had typing lessons. Libby took a nap quickly in our room. Lucy slept too.

Libby and Lucy drove with me to Love field to pick aunt Sherrie and uncle Steve from Colorado.

We had Sonic hamburgers with Sherrie. Then 2 for 1 special.

The kids rode their bijou in the parking lot of Camino. We are hoping Lucy will learn.

Day 2 is in the books - but still need to have the kids to take a good bath. They’ve earned it!Read more

Splash Kingdom with Aunt Sarah
June 6, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
Grandmommy and granddaddy joined us for breakfast and then to watch the kids on their bikes.

We met Aunt Sarah in Canton at the Waterpark. The kids loved the wave pool, slides and I enjoyed the lazy river.

Sarah treated us to the dairy palace hamburger.

The kids were happy and exhausted.

As we were driving on I 30, I pulled over and I got a Blizzard and Glenn got a moolate.

We ate at Cici pizza where we ate with Ellen back in January.

Pulled into a comfort suite in Little Rock at 10am. Libby woke up crying. All are sleeping well (11pm).Read more
I kind of wish I was there. I wish I lived in the US forever (part of me does); the other part knows that I wouldn't have my friend Dani (my next door neighbor) if I wasn't in Spain. (or any of my friends in Spain) [Diego]

We had a wonderful 8 days with David, nearly 9, Emily 7, Lucy 5 and Libby 3.

We had 5 days of Grammie Camp. We connected with Aunt Sherrie and Uncle Steve, went swimming at the Burns home and Lucy even learned how to rude a bicycle.

Yes, we would love to do this again next summer or even sooner.

I feel honored to be their grammie!Read more
