A little Cassie time

Heather and Andrew had a wedding to go to on Saturday afternoon, so Cassie came to spend some time with Grandma.  We had such fun!


She loves playing with our old Marbleworks toy




We went out for a walk and she thought collecting acorns was fun.




Kids find interest in things around them.  She was checking out sticks and leaves here.




Saying hi to the horse.  She didn't want to get too close!




She thought the donkey rolling around was pretty funny.




These guys came right up to greet us.




When we got home, we got to work making a "Squishy".  I had a kit that had envelopes you had to mix to make one.  She was hard at work stirring it.




Once it was all mixed, it went into this mold.  It had to dry for 60 minutes, so while we waited, we went back outside.





She had fun on the trike.





She couldn't wait to come back in and open that mold.  It turned into a pink hippo and it was squishy, just like it was supposed to be. It was a fun craft and she was proud of it.

Share the precious memories you can with Cassie as they grow up so fast. I know as my youngest granddaughter is 17 now. Love her reaction to the donkey. Janice

You are a wonderful Grandma! I know Cassie must love having you all to herself! Speaking of donkeys, one of my DILs recently bought a mule!

There are so many things to do when they are younger and easier to please. I thought the donkey on its back was funny too!

She is just so precious. It always makes my heart toasty warm to read your Grandma posts and the love and fun you always have. I pray so hard I'll know that joy one day. 😉💕

Oh, so many fun and interesting things to do at Grandma and Grandpa's house! What a blessed little girl to be able to come and spend such fun times with you! May I come too? That all looks like so much fun! That squishy thing is really cute! I love the horses and donkeys, and acorns and all the fun things she is discovering. Thank you for sharing this with us. She is just adorable!

What a fun day you two had together. She really is a cutie pie and the smile on her face in the last photo says it all, she loves her pink hippo :)

Cassssiiieeeee! I was not aware of just how much she looks like her daddy until that last photo! I bet she would like the outdoor activity where you put a piece of clear packing tape around her wrist, sticky side up, and she goes around and finds pretty things to stick to it and make a bracelet. You're welcome, hahaha xoxo
