One of the first things we did was visit Grammie's house. She was so excited to see Grammie and Grammie was prepared for her visit. She had toys and books waiting for her. It was like Grammie's house turned into a playhouse for Arabella. There was a kitchen with all the accessories, a doll house, a tricycle, books and more books, and a desk area for coloring! One of her favorite things to play with was an adorable pink purse - she carried it around everywhere. She also loved too push her baby stroller up and down the back path! Good thing the stroller was able to fold down and fit in our suitcase so she could take it home. She now strolls around the house with it here. She had so much fun!
She was even able to persuade Uncle Mike to play with her doll house and he did not destroy it. I wonder how she was able to get him to play nice since he used to trash my Barbie Dream House???
Uncle Mike even helped her with the tricycle...and she got away with riding in the house!
One of her favorite things to do at Grammie's was to feed the fish, turtles and ducks in the pond. She would run to the dock yelling "Fish, Fish" and would have been happy feeding them constantly. She caught on quick as to where the fish food was kept and if she ran out of fish food, would head for the bread box in the kitchen. It was so much fun to see her wonder and excitement over such a simple act.
Arabella loved to explore the flower beds and backyard. One evening while she was helping Grammie water the flowers, Grammie taught her how to drink water from the hose. They both were laughing and giggling, it was priceless. One afternoon she even helped Grandpa Al plant some new flowers. She will probably have one Green Thumb when she gets older, and that is fine with me!
One afternoon, Arabella and Grammie played in a Florida Rain/Sun shower. They sure do know how to have a fun time!
Arabella was a busy little bee and loved every minute of it. And to think, these are the just beginning of our 2010 Florida adventures.
