Stella's Turn For Fun In The Ayr

Wednesday morning Stella went home with mom for her turn staying with Nana and Papa. The day before, we (mom, Sara, Hannah, Haydn, Stella, Porter and I) went to Boone and rode the Scenic Valley railroad train ride. It was a beautiful day for the train ride and we had a lot of fun. Of course I forgot my camera, Sara has some great pics on her blog at: http://waukeelittles.blogspot.com/ . Anyway, Stella has been having a lot of fun at Nana and Papa's house. She rode her bike 3.5 miles down the nature trail. I was amazed she could go that far! Porter and I have been having a lot of fun up here. I haven't taken any pics *gasp*, but we've been busy. I never get one-on-one time with him since Stella doesn't nap, so it's been great doing things that he likes to do. It's fun to watch him play with his toys and see what he is really into since Big Sis isn't up here to boss him around! LOL! We went to Ashby Park today to the wading pools and played on the playground as well as in the water. Yesterday we went to the library and to the mall to play at the playland, and of course get a pretzel at Auntie Ann's! Each afternoon after his nap I've taken him on a 3 mile run in the jogging stroller (SO MUCH easier to push one child rather than two!) and we stop at the park each day. Tonight we are going to Family Fest and listen to some music, enjoy a couple beers and play! Here are some photos that mom has emailed us the last couple of days.
Yesterday mom and her dressed up and went uptown (that sounds so posh, yet funny considering what "uptown" MA is!) for a fancy, grown up lunch. Here's Stella decked out in her fancy clothes and boa. My Aunt Kay was able to join mom and Stella for lunch at Jamie's Coffee Mill. If any of you are ever in MA, Jamie's has a great lunch menu! The photo is a little dark, but I think it is so cute of the 3 of them all fancy! Even Mom and Aunt Kay wore boas to the luncheon. :)

Yesterday Stella also got to ***DRIVE*** the golf cart at the country club! I hope there were no injuries to innocent bystanders!!!!!

Cleaning her bike off after her long rides on the nature trail. She'll probably want to ride RAGBRAI next year!

Of course none of the grandkids (except for little Vada) can go to MA w/o swimming in the hot tub!!
