Visits with three grandkids in one trip!

We had to go and see our grandkids in the east once again, before the youngest one's first birthday. Dad and Grandpa went to New York to visit Yankee Stadium before it is torn down, but that's a topic for another blog (once Dad sends me the pictures). Mom, Grandma and the two girls had fun at home!
This little one, who will turn one tomorrow, definitely knows her own mind, and does not want "baby food" any more! She wants big people food, and is quite capable of handling what is put on her plate!
She loves her car (and doesn't really share it with her sister, although it belongs to both of them).

Big sister goes to school two days a week. Soon both girls will go to school every day, when mom returns to work. They will have a great time there. So much to learn!
While Dad and Grandpa were away, the girls went to Storybook Garden. This is the maze. It was a great place, and we did make it to the play structure in the centre every time!

There were many play structures. You can't quite see the dark tunnel slide at the left, but it is high and very dark! Grandma was glad that Mom and daughter went on that one!

At the end of the day, we all took rides on the carousel. What fun!

This is the splash pad in the middle of the park. Water squirts up out of everthing, or it dumps on you! Both girls had a great time, and it was hot enough that the very cold water felt refreshing, at least most of the time.

On our way home from the east, we stopped at another grandchild's cottage. We were lucky enough to get to go for boat rides. Most of us weren't as bundled up as was the owner, shown here with his trendy Gap hat on!

Early the next morning, he wanted to go for a spin. Nobody else was ready for a ride quite that early though. (Note the NY Yankees outfit - a real hit with his mom).

Videos follow. The first is of the big girl jumping into the pool at swimming lessons. Ignore the voices you hear. We were filming from up above and others were there as well.
The second video was supposed to be of the little sister walking, but grandma made a mistake when she was posting it, so ignore that one also.
The last video should be of little sister walking.

She is very busy and is into everything. Happy birthday one-year-old! Don't grow up too fast!
