Fun With Grandma & Grandpa

This week Phil's parents (Grandma and Grandpa) took a few days off to spend some time with Nadia (and us too). We had a ball doing all sorts of fun things; going to McDonald's for lunch (Nadia's 1st time), going for walks and splashing in the puddles, watching Veggie Tales movies after nap time and plenty of playing with legos. One of the highlights was a trip to Bellaboo's, a children's museum/play place. Thank you, Mom and Dad Svoboda for such a fun morning full of funny memories!

A new favorite hobby: singing in the car.

More interested in playing dress up with the construction gear than building with the construction toys at the play place. :0)

Several buses of preschoolers joined us that morning at the play place, and at first Nadia was a bit leery of all the company (frankly, so were we). She came around in no time, however and caught on to the flow of play (chaos) without a problem.

Gotcha! Just when Grandma let her guard down in the Face Painting room, Nadia swooped in to make her mark. Haha!

Not that she needed any assistance completely covering her face with the face paint crayons, but daddy helped her fill in a few "missed spots".

"Wait. Why are we COLORING??? Can't we be doing this at home!?" Yes, Grandma, we can. But since when do we all get to hunch down at a mini table, crouched painfully on chairs made for mini-people and huddle while our knees ache with joy over the Play Place's pretty crayons? Besides, the world would never know the beauty of "Bespectacled Warewolf Man Grandpa Puppet" if Grandpa hadn't had the opportunity to unleash his creative side at that foot-high art table.

At the end of the morning, after running around, painting her face over and over again, discovering all sorts of new ways to make her parents and grandparents laugh, and several trips down the fun huge slide, we called it a day, loaded back into the van and promptly fell asleep. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!
