Happy Grandparents Day!

I have many grandparents. First I want to tell you about my Non and Poppop. I was able to go to their home in Southern California many times. We always had fun in their pool and spa. When I was little I was only allowed in the spa with either my mom, Non, or daddy.

Poppop would make movie theater butter flavored popcorn and Non would give us fudgesicles. She would cut a small slit in a paper plate and put the fudgesicle in it. This would help us not to get chocolate all over the place. But it would get messy anyway. Just think, kids and chocolate...

Non and Poppop always make holidays fun and they get us fun trinkets from the craft fairs they like to go to. They sold their home and now they travel in their motor home. They get things from their journeys and share with us for our homeschool. It's neat to have them as our teachers when they come visit. We get to see them whenever they drive up to our area. They always call on our birthdays and sing to us, I like that.

When they come up we each get to take turns spending the night in their motor home and we get to choose where we go to dinner. I like when they take me to Applebee's and then for dessert I pick Dairy Queen. Then we watch a movie in their motor home. I like when they tuck me in at night.

For breakfast I like to make pancakes with Poppop. He makes very good pancakes.



Then I have Grampy. He is my daddy's dad. He lives in our town and each month he takes me on a date to a place called Jon and Bon's for forzen yogurt. But we call it Yogy. We play marbles and put together puzzles. We like to go tot the store to get brownies. :O)



My mom's parents are my Grandpa Kerry and Grandma Marsha. They live near Placerville, Ca. That's where Thomas Kincade is from. We go to Apple Hill in the fall and my grandma works at a deli up in Pollock Pines. In the winter it snows and we get to the snow with them. Gina likes to brush Grandma's hair and Grandma likes that too. My Grandma Marsha makes very good candy! Grandpa Kerry has a neat old Chevy Pick up that he built. He takes us for rides in it.

Then there's our Granny. She is my daddy's grandmother. She lives about an hour from here and is over 70 years old. She drives up for all of our birthdays and takes us to Applebee's for lunch. Then the people come out and sing Happy Birthday to us. Granny always sends us cards in the mail for our birthdays and for holidays. She puts gliter and confetti in our cards. Then she puts fun stickers all over them too.

I love my Granny. She had eye surgery a while ago and will need another surgery like it again soon. We don't know if she can still drive up here, but we are going to drive to her home very soon and visit her there. She is a lot of fun and very thoughtful.

I love all my grandparents very much!
