Tangled Thoughts

Dear Grandma,

Christina

March 5, 2013

Today it was nice outside. Nice and sunny, and warm. Or so they told me. All I know is I put shorts on, and we went out to play.

I saw lots of cool things, but of course we had to stop and visit the wheels on the BBQ and check out some soccer balls.

I kicked the soccer ball a few times, that was pretty funny. But then I found out I could sit on it too! That was even better!

So much to see. Grass. Leaves. Soccer balls. And lots of laughing too.

I went up and down the slide a few times. But mostly enjoyed playing peek-a-boo with it. There wasn’t even water on the slide today! And no coat!

“Duuuuuuut!” “Deeeeeet!”

The wooden bench made for a great play ground. Up and down, down and up. I did it all by myself too.

The ground wasn’t wet – so I could knee walk all over. So many interesting things I saw.

But then it was time to go inside. And take a nap. Good-bye Grandma! I love and miss you,

Love,

Mr JD
