I missed documenting Sabine's exceptionally busy visit with Grandmom and Grandpa at the end of June, so I will post it quickly here, by copying and pasting Grandpa's update emails. I'm not sure where he found the time to send emails, in between all the park trips, crafting, playing, and playing some more. In any case, Sabine had a blast, and it was a nice break in the middle of a week with no camp.
June 23:
We had a big day today.
We played with trains…
...which expanded to bicycle…
… and alphorn.
Then we went to the park:
In the afternoon, we played with dolls, and played some board games.
Checkers (Sabine is catching on; she won):
Goose Game (a French game akin to Candy Land). Lots of fun, but best of all was making up new rules as we went.
We were a little late getting a bath and getting to bed. But by 8:20 she was sound asleep.
Lots of love,
- Mom and Dad
June 24:
Sabine set the table for breakfast. She got all the silverware just right. And of course, there was a place fro Blueberry Girl, just as there has been for each meal. Getting her nightgown on has been part of going to bed each night, and getting her dressed has been part of the morning ritual.
And of course, the magazine got some work this morning.
(A little later in the day:)
We went back to the playground this morning. Then we went over to King Sooper’s and Sabine met Mom’s friend, Janelle the cake decorator. Janelle wrote “Happy Birthday Blueberry Girl on a cake that Sabine picked out. So now we’re back home, where we plan to have lunch and then a birthday party with the other dolls. Then we plan to go down to Tiny Town, and come to your place from there. So timing is still dependent on how things go (and what Sabine can be torn away from)
And sure enough, a few hours later, pictures from Tiny Town arrived:
