We went to the park with Miles and did lots of swinging (she fell out one time, but was tough and got right back in)
The kids got to ride on the school bus with Papa as he took it back to the yard.
And we got to see a "pairplane" close up. The life flight came to the hospital while we were there (my mom was pretty sick-but is doing better). They even waved out the window at Grace. She thought it was super cool. 
Grace was climbing on the headstone, but Grandma and I decided that Grandpa would probably love the attention so it was okay. She was being very soft. 
I couldn't get Grace to take pictures, but they were very cute little ladies! I miss my Grandpa and Drew very much and am greatful to them both for serving our country. Love you!
It was so fun. Grace loved the train ride the very best.
The train car that we rode on was from the late 1800's and was originally a rail car in Philadelphia. 
We got lots of pictures and had lots of fun. It was a little chilly outside but we really enjoyed it.
We will for sure go up and do this again. It was a great time. 
When I got home from Wayne, Art had big dinner plans, but unfortunately I had the flu. We had Cake anyway though (Ice Cream cake-my favorite)
Pie and Dad sang to me. It was too cute.
Then we blew out the candles and dug in. Grace loved the sprinkles the most. Art also got me a really sweet Hammock, but it has been raining so I haven't been able to use it yet. Despite being sick and traveling, It was a really great time.
And more silly times.
Grace had to have a quick procedure done today. She had a and Ultrasound and a VCUG test because she had a urinary tract infection so they just wanted to make sure all is right. Everything turned out well, but it was very traumatic. This is her on sedation. She was very funny and would laugh at nothing, until people would try to touch her and then she would freak out and cry. 
Needless to say it was really good she was sedated, because I can't image the fits, if she wouldn't have been. She was still kicking her legs and screaming. It was very traumatic and hard. My aunt Trudy went with me (Thank you) because Art was in California for work. I can't blame Grace for hating all things doctors after all she has been through. It was a really tough day. The sedation ended up making her wired so instead of sleeping she just went crazy. I wish we wouldn't have had to do this, but I guess it is always best to make sure things are okay. I guess if they wouldn't have been and I would have decided not to, I would have been very angry at myself. I am just so happy that all is well. I love her too much. 
She is an excellent colorer...
Sunday morning we woke up to a CO2 alarm going off downstairs. So we called uncle Lon and then Grace and I spent some time at the store. The Gas company came out. It turns out we had a very small (not harmful amount of CO2) leaking from our furnace vent. We didn't know what it could have been because our furnace and water heater are both fairly new, but I guess sometimes there is just enough or a space that we were getting a little into the air. The gas man said it just built up and "stuck" to the sensor over time causing it to go off. We fixed it and are good to go-but we were very thankful we had the sensors even though when I put them up I thought, "we won't need these, but we have Grace now-so just in case".
Then adding to the CO2 with some extra smoke, Grace helped dad cook chicken on the charcoal. she is adding some spices here. It turned out very good. 
She started Saturday out right (I know the picture isn't the best but as soon as I took it, she dropped her Sesame Street Friends). Going potty first thing in the morning with her friends.
Grace and I went to the Library Open house that afternoon.
Grace had so much fun.
They had people reading books to the kids (see "jack sparrow" in the background reading a pirate book.)
It's blue because Grace loves Blue. I think it is so sweet of Sue. She looks so cute in it!
She also brought here this pretty flower for her hair. 
Grace hanging out watching Dora-no care in the world. She cracks me up!
We look forward to going many more times this year!
Although she decided not to sleep in it last night. She got up and played so we had to put her in her crib. Hopefully soon. 
She liked playing peek a boo.
