Grammy (Pat Pat) and Auntie La La visit

This post is long overdue... Jason's mom and aunt came up to visit the beginning part of August. I was waiting for more pictures from Maria's camera but I guess I'll just post mine then add the others in later when I get them.
They flew in Friday morning and after we got them from the airport we went to Cracker Barrell for a yummy breakfast. Then drove down to Thanksgiving Point. We rented the golf cart there which was wonderful. Claire had so much fun running up and down this big hill.

Grammy and Claire
Claire hanging out by the koi fish, so many lilly pads were blooming. And we heard 2 bull frogs but no luck in finding them.
Claire and one of her many presents... Maria got her this Dora couch which she is loving.
Claire and grammy
Maria hates thunder storms, so sure enough the weekend they were here there was 2 big ones. This was the view from our balcony of the sunsetting and the storm clouds. We had fun watching the lightning that night.
We spent a day up at Park City and when we got to the outlets, this is what was parked right next to us. I had to get a picture because I loved that movie Cool Runnings.


We went down Main Street and went to the Park Silly Street Fair, Claire got to see lots of different shapes and sizes of dogs, it was like her personal dog show and she loved it.






Another one of Claire's gifts was this fun ball pit
It was a great weekend, and we did so much and even had time to relax which was nice.

I have to write about what the title of this post means. I was teaching Claire that Grammy Patti was coming to visit, so she got the grammy part down then when it came to the Patti, she would clap her hands. It took me a long time to figure it out but what she was doing was saying Grammy (Patty cake). It works for now for a 16 month old. Then Auntie Ree's name is La La because since Claire was born Ree would sing to her on the phone "It's a Small World" So now she is known as La La. And whenever the phone rings she has to say "LaLa", even though it's not always her.
