A Week of Fun Memories

 I am so far behind with blogging but will try hard to catch up a bit!

About a month ago, M&B came to spend a week of vacation time with us. They stayed at our house and enjoyed going to many of the close attractions in our area. One day we went to the Discovery Museum with some of B's friends. The kids loved seeing Elmo--well, at least one little girl was VERY happy to see the red furry creature!

 This little girl preferred Big Bird...

 and look who took the center of Elmo's lap on this pic!

 We read alot of books together, and also watched Curious George cartoons every evening.

 With all the piano playing, I really do hope that someday we will have at least one musician in the group!

 Little chairs are always a big attraction for the wee ones...

 and back to the piano again!

 We loved hearing the squeals of delight from the swing on the back porch...

 and Poppi loved having his lap full of little girls!

 These two sisters are starting to do more things together.

 Isn't she just the cutest little "lap-lander?"

 Giving daddy some special attention (she's all set for Easter with her new gloves).

 One afternoon, B & I took the girls down to the beach to play in the water and sand.

 It was a cool day, but we bundled them up and actually had alot of fun!

 K did really well with the sand, considering that she does NOT like dirt!

 And this little girl was just content to sit--and occasionally sample the sand!

 We had a great time watching for the waves and then splashing in the water...

and also scaring off the huge flocks of birds that gathered to watch us having fun! We are really looking forward to the warmer weather and another day at the beach. (Just last week, K called me and said, "Nana, I wanna go beach! I wanna make castle.")

Oh yes, we look forward to the next trip to the beach with the little ones and all the fun we will have!
