Friday, after my lovely bike ride, I attended the Preschool Graduation of my 2nd granddaughter, Julianna. Here is a video of her special moment...
She is such a special little girl! She was so excited and I am so grateful I was able to share the occasion with her!
After the graduation we all went to lunch at Ihop. Not only was it Juliann's graduation, but it was also my daughter-in-law Shelly's birthday, so we were celebrating both!
After lunch, my daughter Rachel (who also took the day off work), and I went shopping. I had agreed to have all four kids over for a Sleep-Over. We got home a bit late, and I had not told Gary they were coming. When they all showed up with sleeping bags in tow...he was a bit surprised!
We had a great time....
All four of them hanging out in the backyard.
The kids enjoyed taking a bath in Grandma's oversized bathtub.
Julianna, Emily and Rider in their sleeping bags.
A pretty cool thing about Rider's sleeping bag...it was made by my mother for my son Adam (Rider's Dad) when he was a little boy. The sleeping bad is made to look like a turtle, with the 'head' being a pillow. Both the top and bottom are quilted, which my Mom did herself. It was used by Adam and his brothers, and I have kept it all these years. Rider enjoyed it and was excited to use something his dad had when he was little.
Saturday morning breakfast on the patio.
It was great to spend the time with them. They are great kids! But boy they can keep you 'hopping'! That darn Garth Brooks song still keeps running through my mind..."I'm too young to feel this damn old"!
