Over the river and through the woods
We recently had a wonderful visit to the grandparents’ homestead. Lucy had loads of fun and loved her visit, and of course did not want to leave!
This trip Lucy got to see her first snow! We were lucky there were a few late snow storms this spring, so we got to play in some snow even though it was mid-April. Lucy also invented a new nickname for G’pa (she called him Poppa). We took lots of video, so Mike will get to editing that (once he has our terabytes of pics under control.)
Some highlights include:
the birthday party…it made quite an impression, Lucy is still singing the ‘happy birthday’ song around the house…
dancing with Gma and Gpa in the twilight…and jumping off rocks
seeing snow for the first time!
Daddy and Poppa (new nickname for Gpa) flinging snowballs
Making instant friends with some other kids…and watching them tube down the mountain (next year she will get to tube, promise!)
the après-snow ice cream…. and petting her first tiny kitten!
Thanks so much for your wonderful hospitality, Gma and Gpa (Poppa), we look forward to visiting again soon!
Oh, so sweet, wish I were there! It’s so cool that she made her own nickname for “Poppa”, and funny that it’s similar to Poppadaddy! Looking forward to more visits to Poppa’s with Lucy!!
Yep, she really enjoyed the place. ‘Poppa’ and ‘Gma’ were the perfect hosts.
