Although too early in the year for the horse races, we had a wonderful time visiting with family and spending some time exploring the city. We spent the first morning with my grandparents, both 90 years old this year! Kate kept my grandmother busy with puzzles and coloring, while Lauren played with her recorder holder (knitted by my grandmother) and smiled at everyone...a favorite pasttime of hers. I brought back several pieces of my grandmother's artwork and am honored to have them displayed in our house.
After our visit, we ventured into Congress Park and took our annual ride on the carousel. Kate's smile stretched from ear to ear the entire ride. Mark and Lauren watched from the sidelines.
We spent that afternoon in my aunt and uncle's pool. Kate received her first official swim lesson from my cousin, Sarah, and refused to get out of the pool until her lips were declared purple! By the end, she was jumping into the pool with assitance from Sarah and kicking all over the place.
We ended the day with a delicious BBQ and a celebration for my grandmother's birthday.
The following morning, Kate kept Jennifer and Sarah busy while we packed up the car for our next destination.
Thanks for a great time and beautiful memories!
