Gracie Hits the Bottles!

Yesterday Gracie took her family on another "Adventure Day". They visited a local folk art legend. Grandma Prisbey's Bottle Village Open House. Grandma spent years on her folk art village. When Gracie's Dadda was a boy his family drove by the Village and he always wanted to go see it up close.


Notice Gracie's expression


Now look at her face.

You know you can't stand to look at his face!

One on the many courtyards decorated with recycled material.

After an earthquake in 1994 when some of the buildings practically fell apart, it was condemned by the local building department and the property was fenced off.
A local group of people started a foundation to bring the Village back to it's former glory.
Mommy even saw an old co-worker there.
Gracie wasn't too excited on the way there, but quickly warmed to the place and can not wait for the next Open House.
The Bottle Village trip was followed with a viewing of Hotel Transylvania! It was better than Dadda thought it might be. Gracie sure enjoyed it.

As long as Gracie liked the experience in the end and she did. That's what counts.

Have a terrific day. :)
