Nanny & Pa

Ryan's parents came to visit last week. It was unbearably hot so we stayed inside most of the time. We played Tessa's favorite game of pile the animals on someone. Pa is being a good sport but Anabelle looks like she's headed off to find a more peaceful spot.


Each morning the animals migrated south. Tessa brought them downstairs one by one. She piled them on Nanny and then snuggled with her, for about a minute.

And we had even more birthday presents!

One afternoon we planned special movie time. Daddy and Tessa settled in with popcorn and a drink ready to enjoy the show. Unfortunately, Cars does not have a princess or sweet music so Tessa quickly lost interest. Daddy and Pa were entertained.

We also went to the Children's Museum downtown. It is pretty cool with a pretend grocery store, doctor's office, recording studio, farm and much more. Tessa had a good time putting the candles on the cake in the bakery and planting carrots at the farm.

Her favorite attraction was this climbing thing. Centered under a sunroof, this two story plexiglass playground was quite the challenge. Tessa made it all the way to the top by herself and then reconsidered climbing down alone.
