Goodbye Grandies

The rest of our week was filled with various activities. First up there was swimming lessons however not much actual swimming was done. As it was 'water safety week' and the girls seemed to spend nearly the entire lesson out of the water talking about safe water practice. As a result we decided to go swimming after school on Thursday which meant Grandad came in the water too.


After dropping Ella at preschool on Thursday, Katy took Nana and Grandad along to her Blueberries dancing class. Despite going all term, Katy took her normal 20mins of clinging to my leg before joining in, which was not helped by the fact her regular teacher was away. However by the end of the lesson, Katy really connected with the new teacher Amy.





Being the final lesson for the term, the children were encouraged to dress up (not that they needed much encouragement!)  Katy chose her fairy dress. Another bonus was Katy's childcare friend Ana, turned up unexpectedly.

Ella and Katy were very lucky to receive scooters from the Grandies. Both girls loved this new form of activity, instantly retreating outside to test out their presents. For Ella, she rode her scooter to and from preschool the next day which meant that Grandad had a better chance of keeping up with her.

Of course all this excitement was a little too much for some of us!

Andy arrived home from Hobart on the Friday night, while Grandad and Nana flew out the following morning for the next stage of their journey - 1 week in Manila!
