My little munchkin granddaughter and her parents came to visit from Washington this week, along with my son and his wife from Wisconsin! This is the sunhat she picked out herself for her first visit to Grandma's house in the desert.
We had record-setting highs in the 90s, so much of the time was spent on my shady patio drawing with sidewalk chalk, squirting off with the hose and having rainbow popsicles. She loved making wet footprints and then watching them disappear.
We spent some time at Tohono Chul gardens, again seeking shady spots.
But she did stop in the sun to gaze at the metal horse sculpture.
Here's more color from Tohono Chul, which means Desert Corner.
We watched the ground squirrels at the neighborhood pool and took her to see the animals at the zoo -- her first zoo visit. She already knew what they were from all of her animal books.
She loves animals, and she befriended each of my yoga bunnies, wooden birds and plastic unicorns. We'd been FaceTiming with them for a month before her visit, and she couldn't wait to see them in person! She kept track of each one for the entire visit.
Her last night we went to an outdoor concert, where she got to run around on the grass under the stars in the cool desert evening. I already miss everyone and can't wait for our next visit!
Have a colorful day
