Grandma Rose

My mom has been visiting for the past two weeks so I have an assortment of pictures from her visit.  We've mostly just been hanging out, although today we did go to the Aero Carnival.  She's been watching Fiona while I'm at work so they go for walks, play upstairs, read books, watch some cartoons, naps, snacks and the usual.  When my mom first got here we were asking Fiona "Where's Mommy?" and she pointed to me and then "Where's Daddy?" and she pointed to Sean.  When we asked "Where's Grandma Rose?" she said "Who's that?".  We all cracked up.  Now at the end of the visit she can almost say Grandma Rose...sometimes it's clearer than others, which is better than being called Daddy (what she still calls me!).

The rainbow ended in our neighbors yard!  It doesn't show up in the picture, but we could see the rainbow in front of the trees, all the way to the grass.

 

Showing Grandma the pinecone...she loves to play with sticks and grass and pinecones.

 

Playing in the pool.  She likes to use the buckets to dump water on herself, back into the pool or over the side.

Sitting on her chair, reading a book.

Coloring with colored pencils and ripping the paper into strips.

Playing with cards.

Fiona went with both her grandmas to the outlet mall one day.  She got to go on two of the little rides.  The first one they tried was broken, but they got their money back plus someone elses.  The next ride was lame, but she enjoyed the last one. 

They had a bounce house at the Aero Carnival that Fiona liked.  A couple of older kids got her bouncing pretty good.

Here she is bouncing herself.
