Our oldest granchild came to visit us this past week. She lives in Texas and we live in Georgia so our time together is usually limited and shared with her parents and siblings. This was her first visit to our house as well as the first plane ride for her. Despite the 5 hour weather delay, the flight was uneventful, so maybe she will venture onto another one in the future.
It was great to have her all to ourselves for a few days and really get to know her. We have always loved her, but now we also feel like we know so much more about her.
Here is what we now know:
- She is an amazing person with a great personality and fun sense of humor.
- She doesn't like hot dogs--how is that possible?
- She likes Jimmy Buffett which makes her even more special in our book.
- Not a big roller coaster fan!
- She is an independent thinker--a great trait I hope she never loses.
- We love her even more than we did before! And that was a lot!
Hopefully now that the plane trip virginity is behind her, she can come every year. And we can have more fun. The photo was from a great hike on Blood Mtn in Georgia. We laughed and struggled together up and down the trail. My sprained ankle happened when we were almost done, thank Goodness. We also took her to some great tourist sites in Atlanta such as Stone Mt. Park for the evening laser show, Six Flags, and of course, the Varsity for re-lubrication. And she loved them all as much as we did. Come back soon dahlin', ya'll heah?
