Today was the last day of YaYa’s visit and we made the most of it. We got up and out early…YaYa gave the girls breakfast, baths, dressed them, did their hair…whatever will we do without her? We headed downtown to the aquarium and when we pulled up we saw 5 very large school buses out front. NO WAY! We decided not to join the field trip and headed to the zoo instead. It was a gorgeous day and the girls had so much.

As we were eating lunch I broke the news to the girls that YaYa was going to have to go home today. I told them we were going to take her to the airport and Annabelle said “If YaYa gets on that airplane we are going to cry!”. And cry they did! We had such a great visit with YaYa and we miss her so much. Gwyneth woke up the following morning looking for her…”Where did YaYa go?” as she searched the house. Annabelle told her “She’s on an airplane. She’s going to Chicago!”. Gwyneth cried “I go Cago. I go Cago”. Soon enough! We can hardly wait for our trip out to see her again next month.

YaYa got the girls the greatest little water bottle holders. These little monkeys hang right on them and I don’t have to fuss with their cups all day. They love them! What a wonderful idea — and they look cute too!

(yes, my girls are sharing a cup of pickles here. Any restaurant that has a pickle bar doesn’t know what’s coming when the Meyer girls enter the room!).

We blew up the pool and wasted away the afternoon enjoying the sunshine. YaYa even taught the girls how to drink straight from the hose!
