Fun Weekend with Grand-Girls!
Hi, what a fun weekend I experienced with my grand-girls. My daughter and son-in-law went out of town with friends for a float trip. Which translates to me getting to spend the entire weekend with the girls, YES!!
I took the day Friday away from my work to do my weekend errands in the morning so I could drive to Topeka and get the girls picked up from summer camp by 4pm. That evening we went back to their house to take care of the pups, get dinner ready and then movie time. Grandma let the girls stay up later than their bedtime. Saturday morning Kevin came out to sat with the girls while I went to my weekly Weight Watchers meeting. While I was away, Kevin took the girls to the Farmer’s Market. Upon my return the girls were excited to tell me, they got some honey sticks and already ate them. After Kevin left, we ate our lunch and decided to go to the Topeka Zoo.
After the zoo we stopped by the girls choice restaurant, McDonald’s. Brynlee likes the playground. We ate and then I watched the girls play for a bit. Then back to their house. Once back to the house we let the doggies out and fed them. By this time the weather had cooled down some. We went outside for some fun activities, hula hoop and jump rope. Here is a fun video of the girls trying to teach me how to hula hoop!
The video will then appear.
The best part of the day for me was when the girls were getting ready for bed. Briella told me she had a fun day. This warmed my heart. My husband always asks me what memories did we make after I am with the grand girls. This is certainly a memory I will treasure.
Sunday was my last day to spend with the girls. The plan was to meet Shaune’s parents for them to take the girls to Branson. Our hand off was a success!
This weekend the grand girls and I completed two of my 101 in 1001. #13 Go to the Topeka Zoo and #89 Learn How to Hula Hoop. At least I tried! 🙂

This sounds like a fun weekend. I love that you let them stay up later than usual, that’s such a big deal when you’re young!!

I really had fun hula hooping. The whole weekend was a fun time. One I know I will have fond memories. Just hope it’s one the girls will keep too. Thanks for visiting!
Take care and best wishes.
Aww! It sounds like you had a lovely time with your grand-girls! What a fun time you had at the zoo.
Hi Kim, yes- this was a fun day. And it warmed my heart when Brie said she had a fun day. The hula hooping was a hoot. By chance did you see Brie laughing at me? 🙂
I took a look at your About Us page. When you introduced your fella, I cracked up!
Have a wonderful day.
It sounds like you all had a wonderful time. Zoo trips are always so fun. I need to take my girls again soon. I do miss going to the Farmer’s market. I think I’ll add that to my to-do list. Honey sticks sound great! Our neighbor used to bring us fresh honey from his bees. It was always a treat. I enjoyed reading about your adventures with your grand-girls.
Hi Steph, yes- we had a fun time. The hula hooping was hysterical 🙂
Have a wonderful day!
What a fun time. When my two step grand daughters are a bit older I hope to take them out to zoos and fairs. Thanks for linking at Is This Mutton.
You’re welcome, Gail.
Oh, yes! And doing simple things is fun too. By chance did you take a look at the hula hoop video? All three of us had a great time hula hooping. Memories I hope they think back on when they are moms/grandmas.
Have a wonderful day!
That sounds like such a fun weekend! I love visiting zoos.
Hi Joanne, my daughter was the one to remind when she and her brother lived at home and we went on vacations, we always seemed to visit the zoo. We had gone to Nebraska to visit family and the Omaha Zoo was not too far from our destination. Had to stop and see! There was another time we visited more family in Seattle and there we went to the aquarium. My daughter considered that on the same lines as a zoo. There were other trips as well. My husband and I never planned the zoo visits for vacations. It just happened that a zoo was a local sight seeing opportunity. Good memories! Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!
Love this! Your a pro at the neck! Love Briella putting the video on her for a moment to giggle. How fun!!
Angie, after watching the video she recorded, I apologized to her!! I, too, thought it was funny she looked into the recording and giggled 🙂
I think the video was adorable and her giggle just showed how much fun she had. I love the video!
Angie, I enjoy rewatching the video. I, too, love this video. Wonderful memories!!
Have a wonderful day!
