Last Wed Josie and I drove down to SB. My mom rode in our car and my dad drove their car. They were returning from a trip and driving home so we went along. We surprised Katie who was performing in her school play Alice in Wonderland. Josie did great in the car thanks to Gram entertaining her and they both napped. We stopped at a park for our picnic lunch and made two potty stops. It took us 6 hrs and we got to Katie and Karen's school with 5 min to spare to be there just as school was getting out.
At the end I posted a video of the surprise meeting. Here they are at school and Katie was showing Josie around her campus.
Josie and I stayed at Karen, Luke & Katie's house. They all went to school on Thursday and we had a leisurely morning at home playing on the swing and Josie loved playing in Katie's room.
We picked up Gram and met Karen at Summerland Park & Beach by school and hung out a bit and went to lunch. Beautiful day.
We went back to Gram & Papa's to take a nap but that didn't happen.
Having fun with Uncle Luke
Thursday evening we went to Alice in Wonderland. What a great job the kids did. It was funny and the music was great. Katie took her part seriously and she was one of the few kids who spoke loudly and clearly while looking at the audience. Many of the kids had different parts on the 2nd day so we watched her perform for her whole school on Friday where she had a different role that I captured on video but don't have pictures. She played Alice's sister Matilda and you can see her counterpart playing the role in the top middle picture.
On Friday we went with Gram and Papa to a park across the street from the beach that had a merry go round. We had our own private ride. We played in the park and ate our picnic lunch. We went back to school for the play. Both times Josie did great and enjoyed watching it. It lasted 45 min. Once we got home I was trying to sing one of the songs that was stuck in my head. I couldn't remember all the words and of course Josie remembered. Smart cookie. Friday night we had "Grandpa Anderson" sandwiches, a specialty of my grandpa. Basically grilled steak on great bread with melted butter. Our friend Linda came over for dessert of mini ice cream cones.
We left after lunch to drive home. Josie fell asleep 10 min. into the ride and slept for 90 min. At the 3-hr mark she needed a potty stop and again about 30 min. from home. She was great in the car. We made it home in 5 hours.
