Spring Break

2017-03-12

This past week was spring break - no school for me! I went to stay with Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne for the week so Mommy and Daddy wouldn't have to take time off to take care of me. Plus, this way I got to eat ice cream every day!

While I was away from home, I did some visiting - with Great-grandma Dorothy, Great-grandma Darlene, and with GG and Grandpa Kevin. And I learned how to play Sequence, and got some more practice at Tic Tac Toe and other games.

On Thursday we celebrated to remember Grandpa Joe. Mommy and Daddy came to get me and we went to meet Auntie Kara and Freya at the crayon store while we waited for Uncle Josh to be done with work. Then we went to a fancy restaurant where they make the food right at the table - because Grandpa Joe liked that sort of thing. It was a lot of fun. I even ate with chopsticks! My favorite part was when the chef used an onion to make a volcano - and then it erupted flames!

After the fancy supper I went back to Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne's, and Mommy and Daddy went home. During the rest of the week I went to visit Great-grandma Dorothy again, and went to GG's house again, and then GG came to visit me again.

It was a full week. Daddy came to get me Sunday afternoon and we made it home before the snow started. Daddy thinks we'll get four inches. Mommy thinks seven. I guessed 100! We'll find out in the morning who was right.

That's all, folks! Take care!
