Saturday was an experience that is my birthright…a day in the Snack Shack! We rolled in at about lunch time and I went right in to washing dishes in the sink pans. Gigi had prizes for me throughout the day, including lots of little sponges that were in the shapes of barnyard animals, planes, trains, and cars. I saw two BIG horses and 2 little horses at the canal park and Gigi and Poppa came with me to inspect further. I pranced around the different houses, centers, and cabins like I owned the place. After a short hunger-induced episode, I was back to my smiling and singing A+ self while I finished off the pretzel with cheese and took in a little more of the Snack Shack atmosphere. We packed up and headed home, and I was still going strong all the way through bath time!
On Sunday, we woke up and headed off for Mema and Pepa’s house. Mommy and Daddy went on to cut more pie and dip more ice cream in Delphi, but Mema and Pepa took me to the park. I showed them how I was such a big girl by going down all of the big slides all by myself. They tried to sling some White Castle burgers my way, but I wisely said that I’d rather go for the fries. Could you imagine the blow-out if I knocked back a few sliders? But, we had a lot of fun playing and laughing. So much fun, in fact, that we were on 52 for about 3 minutes before I was sacked out in the back seat. Oh well, maybe I’ll stay up for fireworks next year.
