How to Spoil Your Only Grandchild in One Weekend

Papa John and Grandmama came to visit this weekend. Phew, we kept everyone busy! Penelope had an entire entourage to entertain...or rather 4 adults entertaining her.
We went to the Wabun pool again. As you can see, Daddy was playing with Penelope, while Mommy and Grandmama took photos and Papa John took videos. This is why I only have a few photos posted on the blog. I'll post the other 80 good ones in a facebook album.
On the 4th of July we went to Loring Park. Penelope was able to convince Papa John that he could carry her around the entire park.
Sunday we went to Lake Hiawatha, just a few miles from our house. Penelope loved her first lake swimming experience and making a sandcastle.

Of course, every day Grandmama did arts and crafts with Penelope. Here they are making penguins. At breakfast Grandmama and Papa John made play doh animals. They raised the bar too high. I create Play Doh snakes and balls. That's the extent of my play doh skills, and now Penelope has seen play doh dogs and elephants. Sigh...

The Henry Duo! Book them for your next kids party. Their repetoire includes The Wheels on the Bus, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and ABC. They will not be in tune, but their energy and enthusiasm make up for it. Testemonial: "I couldn't say more more more enough! I wanted them to sing all night" --Penelope Strand
"Me?! Spoiled? No!"

"I'm just a sweetheart!"
"See you in September Grandmama and Papa John."

And a video to show people a glimpse of what my childhood was like with my nature loving mom. Everything is hands on!

That is so funny! There's a reason that fish ain't swimmin' so fast, you might not want to pick it up! Thanks for sharing, looks like you guys had a fantastic visit.
