Visiting NH Granny B and Grandpa Westy Chapt 3

Today Grandpa came into my room around 6am, though I had played for quite a while in my crib before he came in. No climbing out of bed today. After breakfast Granny B taught me to play "Ring Around the Rosie" and it was fun, though I'm not sure she is glad she taught me after the 25th time we fell down! French toast again for breakfast! Grandpa is determined to spoil me!

After breakfast we got dressed and went to the Hancock play ground. It has a double slide and a tunnel. Last year I really didn't enjoy it but this year it was a lot more fun. I did manage to wipe out a few times and once went down head first by mistake! Granny B and Jan went on walking and Grandpa Westy and I stayed back to continue playing there. Once Grandpa showed me the tunnel and I did that a few times too. I also tried the swing for a short while but it is wicked high and then there were some other fun things to climb, but they seemed a little too tall for my legs. Grandpa says I will be able to play with them next year.

On the way home we met Jan and Granny B walking up the hill so Grandpa let me out to walk up with them, but I didn't do very well, and Granny B had to carry me a lot. When we passed Kin's house we stopped in to visit Kin's baby chicks.

I was so tired after my visit to the playground that I went upstairs for a nap.

After lunch we had to do a little shopping and then Jan and Grandpa went for their nap, while I played with Granny B. We were singing our "ABC's and other fun songs. When Grandpa woke up he started to decorate my birthday cake, and then Granny B and I went for our rest. I woke up before Granny B! and soon after we had to leave in a hurry because Grandpa wanted to take me to see the cows being milked.

But when we got to the farm they had not started so I have to wait to see that on my next visit as we had to leave to go to dinner to Grandpa and Granny's friends for dinner. Boy, do those old folks keep me on the go. However, I saw lots of cows and little baby ones too.

Grandpa's friends had just returned from a trip to Italy, so we had an Italian dinner complete with olives and bread dipped in olive oil for antipasto - I surprised everyone that I loved the olives and knew how to dip my bread into the olive oil. We then had pasta for dinner with sword fish, followed by my surprise birthday cake for desert with ice-cream from the farm. I was up until 9:00 PM! but I fooled Granny B because she thought she could just put me to bed without reading to me. No way - I want to listen to 2 stories before I go to bed.
