Yah for Grandad

As Andy flew out for a two week work trip to Germany, Sweden and Netherlands) Grandad impulsively booked a plane ticket and arrived two days later!  Landing on Sunday afternoon meant he was greeted at the gate by two very excited granddaughters.

As per normal we had a heap of things in store for Grandad. There was classrooms and teachers to be shown off, swimming and ballet lessons to attend with the usual chores in-between plus several fun last week of school activities!

Ella ran in the school cross country on Tuesday and seemed to enjoy it - particularly sprinting the last bit when you can see the finish line (advice given by one of the teachers!)

Wednesday saw Grandad pick up the girls from school on their bikes, treat them to an ice cream and ride home without too many problems. While I was working late, Nana took them back to her house for dinner.

Grandad successfully caught the bus to school with the girls on Thursday. However by mid morning he was struck down with a nasty gastro bug that saw him confined to bed for 24 hours. It was a miserable rainy day and so Katy's Teddy Bears Picnic planned by the preschool after school was cancelled.

A quite day on Friday for Grandad while everyone was at work and school ensured that he was back to health in time for our Saturday outing....
