Grampa is Here and Gracie is Happy!

Grampa came for another visit this week. It was just too darn cold and snowy in Utah for him. He loves to go on walks and hates the thought of falling on the ice.
Gracie has been really busy lately also.
New Years Eve she entertained her friends Glenn and Stacy playing real dominoes and Wii baseball and bowling. BG even joined in for the bowling.

Gracie has since been cycling, fencing, and even skydiving, all from the safety of the front room. Dadda is really glad of that. She wants to fence while skydiving. That would be a dangerous sport!

The next day Gracie took her family to San Diego for her cousin Jeremy's wedding in the LDS San Diego Temple. Gracie waited outside with BG while Mommy and Dadda saw Jeremy marry Kasey "for time and all eternity". It was a lovely day and a really "hep" dinner reception at a downtown loft. Dadda liked it because it was only half a block away from Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres.

Between the wedding and reception Gracie's family went to Old Town Sand Diego and toured The Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center. Gracie was not happy about it at first. It was a very interactive tour with talking wall pictures and rumbling seats. Gracie loved it.
She was even able to pan for gold out back. She was allowed to keep two nuggets too. Gracie took the gold to school today to show her class.

How fun and I know how much she love grandpa.

You know I've been visiting her for a very long time, but this is the first time I scrolled down your sidebar and saw all of Gracie's picture. Even when she was a wee one. It made me smile.

Have a terrific day. :)
