at Grandma's house

We've spent a few days with Grandma and Grandpa and are going home later today. Here are some pictures from our visit.

Sunday morning we went out to the lake. There's a new wildlife refuge visitor's center out there. Rachel had fun playing with these furs, which they had in the children's area.

Daddy left Sunday afternoon to go home so he could work this week, and Rachel and I stayed here for several days.

Sunday night we went to an outdoor concert, where the theme was Disney. They played lots of songs that Rachel knows from the various princess movies she adores. She had a ball conducting, marching, singing, and running back and forth. We sat in the back so she could move around to her heart's content.

Waiting with Grandma for the concert to start

The concerts are held at the zoo (after hours). We didn't tell her it was the zoo, because she'd be disappointed that she didn't get to see the animals, but she did enjoy this butterfly display. She needs to grow into her wings a bit.....

Here are wings that are a better fit....

She was playing her "trumpet" with the band

She liked standing up on the bleachers, but I held onto her shirt while she did because they were pretty narrow seats and I didn't want her to fall off. She thought it was funny to have me hanging onto her and kept turning around and laughing.
