Grandma Jen came for a visit last Wednesday for a week. It was the first time she has seen the new house. We were very sad that Grandpa Ken was not able to make it. Dagny actually looked and asked for him. She has really become more aware of the whole Grandmother, Grandfather role. The visit worked out so nice because Craig had Friday and Monday off from work, so he was able to join in the fun.
Friday, we went to the zoo for the first time this year. I was never super excited about going, up until now. As I mentioned before, Dagny has never been a fan of her stroller and because she was so little last year it really was hard for her to see things. All this adds up to one of us carrying her… ok, mostly Craig. This time the experience was so different. I guess she has grown enough where she was able to see most of the animals comfortably and walking greater distances seem more tolerable.

Saturday, we went to Dagny’s current favorite place Strong Museum of Play. Everyday, she asks to go back. I see another visit in the near future.

Every time we leave Dagny asks to go for a ride, can you guess what the answer is every time?
The rest of the weekend was opening the pool and getting the water just right. We are still waiting for the water to warm up, being and in-ground pool it takes longer, but it also stays warmer longer.
Until next time.
