I love living in a world where Grandmas can do everything.
Now she’s dancing and singing, “Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember, things my heart used to know, once upon a December.” Songs from Anastasia. And Hunter is singing along too. Amazing.
We got up early today. Ate pancakes and played. Then went to Vasquez Rocks, an LA County Park. Beautiful rock formations, perfect for climbing. Kayla was like a mountain goat, insisting on climbing as high as possible. Just like Jill was when she was young. And Hunter wasn’t far behind his big sister. It was almost unbearably hot, though, and we didn’t stay as long as we’d have liked. A very fun day.
Home and grilled hamburgers and veggie burgers. A delicious meal.
After dinner Kayla said, “Don’t leave, Grandma. I don’t want to have to miss you.” It makes me cry just to type this. Imagine hearing it from such a sweet little girl.
Before bedtime, Kayla and I fingerpainted. Hunter joined us for a little bit, but he didn’t like getting his hands all sticky. It was cool. Jill covered the table with plastic, and then lots of paper. We had a ball.
Kayla made a lovely picture. I asked, “Did you make that especially for me?” She answered, “No, I made it ‘specially for ME.” So cute.
