Grandparents day was Sunday Sept 11, and Avery and Audrey's school invited all the Grandparents to eat lunch with their Grandchildren on Monday. Audrey is still in the preschool side, so the school let us take her out of class to eat with the 1st Graders.
Audrey is like a licensed tour guide of the school. She confidently had us follow her ( and she is a fast walker) through the labyrinth of rooms and pathways to get to the playground where the 1st graders were jumping hoops and kicking balls before lunch.
Avery introduced us to his buddy Joey, whose Grandpa Bob was joining him for lunch. The Grandparents are supposed to bring lunch for themselves because part of the fun for the kids is showing Grandpas and Grandmas their own lunchboxes, how they like to eat this or that first, etc. ( Still, several Grandparents brought Little Cesars Pizza to share with their Grandkids. Grandpa thought that was a really good idea :) We brought little containers of cheese, sliced boiled eggs, cantalope, tiny slider size ham sandwiches and pieces of that healthy Blueberry Bread from Alpine bakery. Avery and Audrey showed us their Yogurt in tubes - you just squirt it right into your month - I am not kidding - the coolest thing ! And box cantainers of Orange Drink, EZ to open and square so they aren't as likely to spill.
We had a great time - and best of all Grandpa is retired so he could come too.
Boo Hoo Hoo - My camera, which has had several problems, the SD card messed up and the only picture I could recover was when we were in line to get into the lunchroom! The teacher took a great picture for us of me and Grandpa eating with Avery & Audrey - but - alas - I couldn't unscramble the data. Plus give me a sympthetic "Ohhh" here.
