We visited Grandma Wagner's one afternoon. We started out with a lunch out and some grocery shopping, then back to Grandma's.
June got to play with Grandma's special doll.
And the kids loved the laser top Grandma had.
And Grandma taught Henry how to play Chinese checkers. June played for a while before she abandoned the game for dolls. It's worth noting that Grandma's huge house doesn't have air conditioning. They solve this problem by closing off the upstairs and placing one small room unit in the front room. Grandma displayed extreme patience with all the kids, playing the game with Henry and reading books to Georgie between turns. I fell asleep on the floor. I wish Grandma would come live with us.
After my afternoon nap, we decided to brave the upstairs to find Grandma's Czech costume. When I was little, I had my turn trying on the costume, and now it was June's turn.
Poor kid was a good sport trying on all of those layers in that heat.
Georgie really wanted in on the fun, so we cobbled together an outfit for her too.
Next, we decided to go outside for a walk.
The girls had fun swinging on the porch swing and running around on the porch. It was like reliving my childhood.
Then we all jumped off the porch!
Out in the back yard was the hand pump from the well. The kids loved that. And it helped with the heat.
Thanks for having us, Great Grandma!
