Emma's visit to NH - Chapt 5

After my long day yesterday I slept until 7:00 AM and woke up to a yummy breakfast of oatmeal with raisins. It was a yucky day with rain, so I only had a short walk to Kin's garden before Grandpa came and picked me up on his toy. I love riding with Grandpa because I don't have to walk up the hill.

I had another long nap because I knew that Granny was taking Jan to the Mall and I wanted to be full of energy for the trip. First we went to buy some bread from Antrim and I shared a oatmeal raisin cookie with everyone. It was a long drive there, but once we got there it was fun. I took Grandpa around while Granny and Jan went by themselves to do "window shopping", whatever that is - doesn't sound like much fun to me. Grandpa and I went on a Merry Go-Round where the horses go up and down - it went around many times so Grandpa was feeling "dizzy" but I felt fine. Grandpa and I went into a cooking store and they had lots of samples but all I got was the pretzels. We met Jan and Granny for ice-cream, and then they went off again, while Grandpa and I played in an area specially made for me and other kids - there were slides and lots of climbing toys. It was fun for me, but then lots of other children came to play who were older and bigger than me, and they were pushing a lot, so I was ready to leave with Grandpa.

We met Jan and Granny and they wanted to buy some shoes, so I helped them get the boxes off the shelves so they could see inside. They needed my help to put them back as well! Grandpa had a nice surprise for me for dinner - he took me to an Indian restaurant! I loved the rice and bread best of all, but Grandpa also made sure that I had some channa masala and aloo gobi. The channa was a little spicy but I drank lots of water and ate more rice!

Once we got home I had the best surprise for Granny and Grandpa! I had to poo and Granny noticed that I needed to go, so Grandpa asked if I wanted to sit on the toilet and I said "yes". Granny took me up and held me as I sat on the big toilet and I pooed right there. Boy, were they surprised and told me how smart I am.

It was a fun day for me and I was ready for bed.

No pictures because the man (whose name I won't reveal) forgot the camera. Apparently he has a reputation of forgetting the film or the camera! Anyway I will try to remind him tomorrow!
