Grandcamp East - Day 4

After school today, I got a surprise from Pa and Mimi (mostly Pa). But before we could use it, we had to unscrew it from its packaging. 12 screws!


Pa helped me by holding the screwdriver while I turned it.


I think Pa forgets how old I really am, sometimes. I asked him to take the wire off. But he didn't.


Keats was pretty surprised, too.


We played in the garage some more - it was still raining. We found a tube that made a pretty good telescope.


We brought my slide in from the back yard. There are lots of ways you can use a slide.


If you put your ball on top, it rolls down the slide pretty straight.


So Mimi set up a little bowling alley. Strike! Every time.


I found out that the telescope was more fun to throw than to look through. Duck, Pa!


We played catch, too. Now and then, I stopped to practice holding my hands the way Daddy showed me.


I tried going outside to play.


But it was still raining. When I couldn't open the door from outside, I came in the other way.


It was too cold to play in the rain, so I had to use the umbrella.


Pretty soon, it was bedtime. We read lots of books.


Then Mimi rocked me, and I fell asleep.
