Blackbird Fun

In my last blog, I mentioned the promised Black Bird Bakery was on the schedule to begin the day.

I did not mention the added request  by our grandson,  who asked if he could eat his donut in the bakery rather than bring it home.   I found that to be amusing, as a donut tastes good just about anywhere one might eat it, but we were certainly happy to accommodate the little guy's wish.

When he was getting dressed in anticipation of our adventure, he pulled this shirt out of the drawer and announced that this was his favorite donut eating shirt.

That brought a laugh from me as he does not get the opportunity to actually eat a donut very often.  (Perhaps that is why's his shirt still looks so clean!)

So here you see him, posing for Gramma G upstairs, in the spot that he picked for us to sit down and enjoy our fare.

As you can see, he wasted no time enjoying his treat!

When he finished, (which was relatively quickly!) he spotted this picture on the wall, and he seemed to be concerned as to why this woman looked so unhappy. 

I surmised that she was disappointed that she had to eat salad and crackers as she walked by a window filled with delectable pastries.  We both decided that would make us a bit grumpy, especially after having just finished some finger-licking good delights ourselves!

On our way back to the house, we passed a playground that looked way too inviting to ignore, and, after the sugar rush, it seemed best to wear off some pent-in energy before returning him back to his mommy. 

There were bubbles to peer through

And tubes to whisper into

with Grandpa G at the other end, sharing secret plans.

A variety of slides to try with Grandpa G going down first.

and the little guy second

And there was even one where they could slide down together!

What fun!

Back home, Gramma G and Legos made for entertainment most of the afternoon.

We built a zoo (above) and a tee pee (below), complete with an American Indian holding a swashbuckling sword.  (his horse is taking rest under the parasol). 

After dinner and a bath, it was time to relax and watch a favorite episode on Netflix.

Obviously, the show must have been interesting as these two look transfixed staring at the screen.  What could possibly attract so much interest?

Dino trucks, of course!

Something this Gramma had never seen before, and to be quite frank, it won't be going into my favorites list!

Really, what will they think of next?

It's been a fun-packed weekend here, but we will be heading out later in the day.  It's a LONG drive, so we decided, this time, to break up the trip in both directions!  That way, we won't hobble out of the car when we get home.

At least, that's the plan!   

Hope you enjoyed our weekend adventures.  We certainly did!
