GrandGirls For A Day

We were all surprised to see a trolley bus in front of the house across the street. It was there to pick up a wedding group who are staying there.

We all got in some quality device-time.

... and some swinging sword battles.

Papa Murphy's provided dinner.

It's acorn season, so we gathered some of the crop as a treat for the local squirrels. (You know what they say about the blind squirrel...  :)

In order to enhance training for swing-swordsmanship, we decided to construct a practice dummy. Of course, it had to be properly dressed, and decorated.

Ready for training!

Bed time was wrapped up with Berenstain Bears and Winnie the Pooh. A good ending to a great day!
