| Visiting Grandma -
Spring 2008 |
|
|
| The visit began with a tea party on the front porch. ("F"
is the letter Lainey is learning today.) After they were good and
wet, we headed to the back yard where Lainey helped Grandma by putting
pots in a tray while Evelyn sat in the wagon rocking it back and forth.
"Let's go for a ride in the wagon and go shopping." Lainey said.
She remembers the first time the came to visit earlier this spring when
I pulled them in the wagon to Kroger and even pulled it around inside. Grandma said, "No, we're not going shopping but we can take a wagon
ride to the gardens and pick a flower. " |

| On the way to the flower gardens we passed a garden full of peas. Evelyn
really liked the peas! They were good!
We got to pick peas and eat as many as we wanted. If the
pea pod was little and flat, we ate the whole thing. If it was big
and fat, we opened it up to eat the peas inside. Lainey learned how to
pick the pea pod from the plant by using two hands. One to hold the
plant so it will not break. We ate lots of peas! Then we went to the raspberry patch. Grandmas has raspberries
behind her barn. They are just like the ones in our yard but she
has whole bunches! Lainey pulled the wagon full of raspberry plants to
Grandma's house so we could have more next year. |
