Grandparent's Day

Wednesday was Grandparent's Day at granddaughter #1's school. We left our house at 6:15 to drive to her house to pick her up for school. A deer ran across the road in front of us and it was cool to watch! We said "hey" to our son and daughter-in-law and loaded up in the truck and drove just a few more minutes to the school. We parking IN THE BUS parking spaces - oops! I guess they realized it was a grandparent so they didn't tow us away :-).

The school is fairly new and everything looked really nice. They had the front entrance decorated for fall. As we were leaving my daughter-in-law reminded us to take photos so we grabbed the first one while we waited in line.

We made it into the building but were still in line so I grabbed photo #2 and . . .

. . .we were still in line so we grabbed photo #3 -- friends just make life better and it seems like she has a lot of friends. That makes my heart happy.

We made it into the lunchroom and they had a photo op spot set up so we grabbed a couple of photos here . . .and about 15 people went ahead of us in line.

We made it through the line and grabbed a seat and I offered to take a photo of the grandparents and granddaughter sitting across the table from us and she graciously took one of us.

My kids and I have always loved biscuits and gravy and evidently so does granddaughter #1 (and I think granddaughter #2 does, too!). Pops, on the other hand, does not BUT he did get a biscuit without gravy and was pleased that it was evidently whole wheat! The choices were cereal and milk or biscuit and gravy with a scoop of fruit. There was a sign on the fruit container, "one scoop per person, please!" You know what that means, right? Sometime in the past, some nut . . .took too many scoops of fruit and there wasn't enough to go around. Gran loves cantelope and watermelon and granddaughter #1 loves ONLY watermelon so I gave her my watermelon and she gave me her cantelope.

After we ate, we walked her down the hall and we stopped mid-hall and said the pledge of allegiance. They had either a teacher or an administrator standing at the T in the hall . . .and we couldn't go any further.

It was worth leaving while it was still dark outside and driving 35+ minutes plus the few minutes to the school to be with our sweet girl. I can't believe how fast she is growing up!
