Grammy comes to town!

Grammy came to visit for a week. Mack had a long list of things to do with Grammy. Here they are checking a few things off that list:


Board games:
Lots of chatting:
While Grammy was here, Mack caught a brief stomach bug that left her feeling pretty crummy. She was very tired from so much " throw up-ing" and had a nice warm couch buddy to catch a nap with:

We got some snow during the week and , as always, Mack was ready to get out in it as soon as her eyes were open!

She calls this " my tiny tree" . Indeed, it is.
She brought out one of our old mixing spoons turned play toy and shoveled in snow as fast as her little mouth would let her:
Mack's list also including taking Mary to all of her favorite places. We visited both the aquarium and the butterfly pavilion and didn't make it to the Children's museum or the zoo but those will be good for warmer weather, anyway.

Bug watching at the butterfly pavilion:
Mack knew the names of a few of the butterflies from her favorite books so it was really fun to get to see them up close. I don't think she intended to one as close as she did when it landed on her head! :
Everyone who hangs out with us HAS to go to the Downtown Aquarium for some sting ray feeding.
Mack showing me how you hold your fingers so the sting rays can get the fish:
