The last week of June- first week of July
my sister and I went to visit our grandma and grandpa in Pacific
Grove for 8 days. We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the nearby
park. We also enjoyed staying at home watching movies and cartoons.
My sister and I decided to put on a skit for our grandparents. It was
about the Revolutionary War since it was around the Fourth of July.
It was a lot of work writing it up, getting props, and practicing,
but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We also went to our grandma's
church both Sundays. One day, we had the unique experience of both
seeing and petting Icelandic Horses at our grandma's friend's house
in Carmel Valley. At night, after my sister had gone to bed, I had
some good time to talk with both my grandparents.
The Fourth of July became a memorable
day for both my sister and me. It began when Grandma, my sister, and
I as well as two of Grandma's neighbors went to a parade in Monterey.
Afterward we went to a cafe down the street. After we dropped off the
neighbors at their house, we went to the beach. There our grandma
rented us a boogie board and we enjoyed using it but it could not
compare to what happened next. We met a lady who was letting kids,
who looked like her grandchildren, ride little waves on her surfboard
and we asked if we might ride. Kindly, she said “Sure!” That
Fourth of July we will never forget because it was a dream come true
for both my sister and me. Sunday the 7th, our parents came up and we
enjoyed our traditional pizza. Then we spent our last night before
going to a coffee shop the next day and heading home.

Both my grandpa and I think this was
one of the best trips we've had in a long time. Thank you, Grandma
for setting aside your time and making this such a wonderful trip!
Thanks, Grandpa for taking the time to talk to me in the evenings as
well as letting me take your morning walks with you and all the other
things you did to make this trip awesome! I know that grandparents
are a gift from God. So, thanks, Lord!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your help! You're the bomb! I'll keep you updated!
DeleteWhat a fun vacation! The part that touched my heart the most is that you went for morning walks with your grandpa. Many young people would find that boring, but not you! You are such a unique and special young lady. I am blessed to be your honorary aunt. Love you! Aunt Army Ant
ReplyDeleteP.S. Who is Surfer Gal? I'm guessing she is my other honorary niece. Am I right?
