East Coast Trip - grandma and grandpa guest bloggers

Slide show of grandma and grandpa pics with Leah

We recently got back from an incredible trip to the East Coast of the US. Rob, Leah and I met my parents for a 2 week trip through Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. We introduced both sides of the family to Leah, and were greeted so warmly it was like we knew everyone for years. We also had some great sight seeing...so many memories and stories! THe story will be told over a few blogs.


For the first - Guest blog by Grandma and Grandpa:

Grandpa was the navigator in chief when Rob drove, and grandma sat next to Leah.
This involved playing (probably 75 games of peek-a-boo), singing, handing out and retrieving car toys, as well as fruit, cheerios, and water.

We took Leah to the zoo, and she really liked watching a monkey swing and climb, and the kangaroos at play, an eagle perched on a limb, and one talkative parrot. She liked the miniature train ride, especially the tooting of the whistle.

At the Boston children's museum, Leah played with a gigantic train set, had fun in a convertible car, turning the wheel, and pushing the 3 red buttons, for the sound of a horn, radio, and traffic noises. As the music came on , she shook her head, and waved her free arm to the music.
She crawled in and out of tunnels, climbed stairs and ramps, observed a turtle tank, did innumerable puzzles, pushed doll carriages and shopping carts , and tried to catch the bubbles grandpa blew.
