Last weekend our daughter came with her daughter for a weekend visit. Of course it rained both Saturday and Sunday, but we still had some fun both outdoors and indoors.
When they arrived Friday afternoon it was sunny and we walked to one of the local playgrounds.
Saturday morning saw clouds and light sprinkles. I had a library pass for free entrance to Old Westbury Gardens where there was a LEGO installation. We all put on our raincoats and walked through the grounds.
It became a treasure hunt for my granddaughter to find each LEGO sculpture. There were lily pads with a frog.
A dragonfly.
Birds on a feeder full of LEGO seed.
A farmer and his granddaughter.
A snail on a mushroom.
A fox and some rabbits.
There was a proposal happening at this pavilion. We waited and then saw this hummingbird.
Finally, a butterfly.
There were also a lawn mower, sundial and wheelbarrow that I did not include in these photos.
There were flowers to see too.
That afternoon while it was raining my granddaughter and I made brownies.
The rest of our visit we read books and played games. I sent my daughter home with these two outfits that I made for her when she was little that my granddaughter should be able to wear soon.
I didn’t work on my crafts at all for a few days. Nonetheless, Cinnamon House got a few more motifs.
All of the granny square rows have been sewn together. The blanket just needs its border.
My Kousa dogwood is in full bloom now.
I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Take some time to relax with a cup of tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.
Thanks for stopping by!
you have been busy and always nice to have a little kid around for awhile they are always so cute
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day you had looking for the Lego sculptures in the rain! It’s amazing what some people can make with those little bricks! I made my daughter a lot of her clothes when she was little too. Nice that your granddaughter will get to wear those outfits. Your blanket is just about done…I’m looking forward to seeing how you do the border. Cinnamon house is so cute! Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Those Lego sculptures are so fun! Thank you for taking photos and sharing them!
ReplyDeleteIts wonderful that you have saved those outfits originally made for your own daughter, and are now passing them on to her daughter.
ReplyDeletewhat a super fun visit!! I like drippy days because the sun is usually hiding and it doesn't get super hot.
ReplyDeleteIt really was the perfect day for walking around the gardens.
DeleteYour weekend with your daughter and granddaughter sounds lovely! Baking and playing together are the best - and the Lego exhibit looks like it was really neat. Your granny squares blanket is turning out really pretty!
