Play date with paige

 

Every Wednesday I get to hang out with my 4 year old granddaughter Paige.   She likes to paint, so this morning we got out the watercolors and plenty of paper.  She worked on this portrait -- "Paige and her best friend Tessa".  The girls love to play dress up and put flowers in their hair when they get together and Paige drew that.  We walked over to Tessa's house to deliver the drawing and came home to pack lunches for our outing.

Today we went to a favorite park, Spanish Landing,  where they are building the replica of a sailing vessel the San Salvadore.  We have checked in on their progress over the past few weeks and it's becoming a fun thing to do. It'll take about 2 more years to complete, so plenty of time for outings here.   She recognizes a couple of the ship builders now and is feeling comfortable there.  We then went to the play structure on the beach nearby and today, because of the cold, windy, rainy weather, we had it all to ourselves.  We had about an hour before we both got cold and went home.   She loves the slide tunnel, and I love taking photos of her in it.
