Let's go to Grandma's House!

Yesterday I finally got to go and visit my Grandma, it has been such a crazy few months I have been planning this for a while now. The original plan was to take all the kids an my mom before the kids start school next week, but Jarin's sister wanted to take the oler 3 kids to her house for a couple days to be with their cousins. I let them go and I took only CarliAnn and my mom down to Gunnison to visit my Grandma. (the little guy I babysit was home with his mom for the day!)

We stopped on the way to visit a couple farm stands to find out when the Pears were going to be ready, we bought some fresh sweet corn, tomatoes, cukes (that's what my mom called cucumbers, I had to ask her what she was talking about lol!) and a hot pepper for Jarin. Then we went a little further to the bbig Red Barn and bought 2 boxes of apricots for Jarin's sister and some great icce cream!! I stuck with normal chocolate flavors, a brownie one and a chocolate oreo, and then added a scoop of Cookie Dough since it was white for Carli. Mom got Cinimamon and a scoop of licorice. I didn't think I would like them but they were great, the cinnamon tastes like cinnamon taffy.

When we got to grandma's her sister in law was there an we visited, a neighbor brought over some banana bread and then we just enjoyed eachother. After a while we decided to eat some dinner. I love eating at grandma's, you pull out everything you can and throw it all on the table, always to much to eat! We of course boiled up some of the corn, and cut up fresh tomatoes and cucumber, then added bread, a little Turkey, some noodles and viola a great meal! Carli had never eaten corn before, we tried to show her how to hold it and she quickly put her mouth over the end of it, we laughed and then showed her again and she got it and loved it. I wish I had a picture of her first attempt though! Then Grandma had some wildflowers that needed to be thinned out, so we all went outside. immediately we were attacked by mosqiutos!! Carli cried as one got her and I got one to, I got two more before I could get to the car and find the bug spray, after that I only got one more. Carli loved being outside and running all over, she was running a nd playing the whole day with out stopping. Including crawling around on the grass and driveway then rolling around in the dead patch of grass grandma had, just one patch in her entire beautiful yard and CarliAnn found it! Then she found a piece of curbing cement and sat down, no clue why but she was cute!

After the weeding work was done mom and grandma took a seat to relax and called Carli over to join them, she was so cute, when we first arrived she was quiet, but all it took was asking her to give great grandma a piece of candy and then grandma sharing it with her, they are best of friends now. She also was playing peek a boo with my mom. It was so nice to go down for the visit and as much as the other kids would have loved to go and I would have loved that too, it was nice a quiet with only one child there, peaceful! And since CarliAnn's middle name is named after my great grandma, it was a special time for her to have her undivided attention! She has an amazing line of women to learn from!
