Our oldest two grand girls are visiting us this week, and we are having a blast with them! We've taken them a few places and we've played in the sprinklers and played games in the house, and badminton outside, and it has just so far been a wonderful time for all of us.
But I think if you asked them, they might say that the best fun they have had is cutting cardboard!
It all began Sunday night when they decided to make houses for their hot wheels. The did that using scissors and scotch tape, but then they had left over cardboard, and that is when the hot wheels went to the wayside, and their obsession has been with the cutting of the cardboard!
The first picture is the little pile they had accumulated by Monday morning, the next few pictures are what they had accomplished by Tuesday morning.
They've pretty well cut up everything we can find for them. I don't know what we're going to do, but we may have to send grandpa to the grocery store to get them some more boxes!!!
And here is a picture of them and grandpa standing and sitting on the Lincoln statue at the Lincoln Heritage Museum here in town. It is a very small museum, but I know both the curators there, and Mr. Keller spent a lot of time telling the girls about the things in the museum all about Abraham Lincoln. He even let them touch and hold things so that was really special!
And, here is just one of several shots I took of them playing in the water on the patio. They went out twice yesterday once before lunch then again after and they really got a kick out of the mud they made, Rachel especially enjoyed squishing the mud between her toes.
I have city council tonight, so they are going on a very special date with Grandpa. He's going to take them out to supper at McDonald's, then let them play in the playland area (if it's air conditioned).
I won't be there to take pictures, but I'm going to load up my little camera that the girls have used in the past and let them take it with them.
Grandpa thinks this will be a great thing, just him and his girls, and they are looking forward to it too!
