Gram's Weekend With Lucy

It was a fun filled weekend with Gram in town! Gram was here for an extra long weekend to visit her Lucy Jane and to spend a special night with her while Mommy and Daddy had a night out.

We started the weekend by going to the Mall of America on Friday to do some shopping. We took Lucy to the Rain Forest Cafe for lunch. She loved the fishies swimming all around the tables, but was a little unsure of the thunder and lightning that happened a few times while we were eating. We tried to get a few good pictures, but you will see that some of us (myself included) just couldn't get a camera face going. . .

On Saturday, we hung out at the house. Gram got Lucy a new 'comfy chair' as Lucy calls it. She even got to have some rides around the house in it.

Of course, she played with Gram's shoes.Then, after Mommy and Daddy headed out Lucy had a good dinner with Gram. . .

I've heard that she actually had a nutritious dinner first, but I didn't see any pictures of that. . .
Lucy also got to play with some new books and toys that Gram brought for her.

They tried for the self portrait.

They also had a visitor. Mandi came by to play, newly back from her trip abroad. She was hitting the beaches in Italy, Greece and Turkey. Notice the glowing tan.

On Sunday we all had a little R&R after our big nights, then we made it out for dinner at a So. Minneapolis favorite, Fat Lorenzo's. Lucy was doing her big open mouthed laugh for all of the pictures.
We took some gelato to the park across the street after eating. Lucy was a huge fan of the little spoons that came with the gelato.

Today, we got in some play time and snuggle time before Gram had to leave for the drive back to Milwaukee. Lucy and Mommy are both a little sad, but are really looking forward to seeing Gram again in a few weeks.
