Grappa's Hewe!

We picked him and Papa up from the airport and went straight to a "Birfday Pahty!"

Papa Guy and our friends Adam and Denny all have birthdays the same week so we got together to celebrate! But mostly we just wanted to hang out with Baby Tessa, Denny and Danielle's 8 month old, who's the cutest, sweetiest thing in the world.

First we had some food,

Then we sang,

Then we:

After we were all stuffed with sugar, Oly jumped on the couch with Danielle and Colleen:

And read books with Denny.

The next morning, even after drilling it into her brain that it wasn't her birthday, she still opened presents from Nana and Grandpa:

And later on she tried on her Halloween Costume. This is just a sneek peek for all of you, you'll have to wait until October 31st for the full reveal.

We've had a blast so far while David's been here. While she waits for him to get up in the morning she paces the house saying, "Where mah Grappa go?" (Somewhere along the line she picked up a Louisiana accent.) And every single step she takes, no matter where she is, is followed by, "'Mon Grappa! 'Mon!"

After lunch in Media we went to the Grist Mill for a harvest festival.

Kissing a deer statue:

Just looking at this picture makes my stomach drop:

There were period revelers:

Sheep:

18th Century money, which was way cool:

Blacksmiths:

And a harpist in the Millers House who was playing lovely music that everyone was ignoring. Except for Oly. He finished a song and she clapped and yelled, "Yaaaaaaay!" He told her that she made his day. So he let her take a few strums. She's a natural. He asked us to promise to buy her a harp if she wants one some day.

This morning since Papa had to work, Oly, Grappa and I went to the Delaware Museum of Natural History to see........

DINOSOARS! (She has a very distinct way of saying it, but I can't figure out how to spell it. Let me think about it for awhile and I'll get back to you.)

The treehouse exhibit had been replaced by interactive dinosoar video games that she was WAY too young to get.

But the simulation jeep was pretty awesome.

And of course all of the usual animals that she has grown to love:

The coolest part was this computer game where you paint pictures of dinosoars. This video was taken early on, she improved dramatically in the 15 minutes we sat there. It blew us away. This kid can use a computer!
