Avery and Grandma T went and played with Juno - She helped brush her and learned how to feed Juno by keeping her hand straight.
Teri and I also took Avery to the Grand Rapids History Museum. Avery loved the "old town" - Her favorite was driving the horse and carriage and dropping us off for errands. And she loved the old Grocery Store. She always charged me $100 for everything while Teri only had to pay $1. The Carousel was also really fun. There was a room with lots of magnifying glasses. Avery decided we were all Scooby Doo characters and had to find the bad guy. I was mama Daphne, she was sweetie Daphne and Teri was Velma.
We also visited the Frederick Meijer Gardens and got to walk through the Butterfly House. Avery liked it but was upset that a butterfly didn't land on her. We then went outside to the Children's Garden and she loved playing outside. We will have to go back there when the weather is a bit warmer. One exciting thing - We found a girl, Julia, who was lost and was sobbing. We had to help her find her parents. Avery kept rubbing her back and holding her hand. It was very sweet and she loved retelling that story. Then we got to go Olga's for lunch with Grandpa - My favorite :)
On Saturday, we headed to Ann Arbor for the Michigan Spring Football Game. It was a bit cold but got some tailgating in with my Aunt's (Jody and Jenny) and my Grandpa. Avery liked all the treats she got at her first tailgate and enjoyed seeing the Band. That was about it - She was cold and ready to go play at Aunt Jody's after about 45 min. We spent the rest of the day at Aunt Jody's house - Avery loved chasing the geese on her lake and sitting in the big round chair watching movies. Jody also had some barbie dolls from the 50's and those were really fun to play with. After pizza for dinner we headed home - It was a long day but fun!
Before going to bed on Saturday I suggested we put Avery's Easter basket on the kitchen counter. She wanted to put it right up against the door. She said that way the bunny would hear it right when he walked in and "not fump away to the next house".
My Dad put together an amazing scavenger hunt for Avery - She found the first egg on her night stand right when she woke up and was off and running. She made it through most of the clues with little help and finally found her basket in the oven. Her breakfast consisted of real eggs and sugar egg from the bunny. We had a great visit and Avery had so much with Grandpa and Grandma T!
