Mattie Sue came to town...

LAX airport. Ready for the flight to 
San Antonio, TX


NAMA....
SLUMBER PARTY
 First night was cold enough for a fire. 
Sue is recording her visit in her diary.

 Movie night. The Chronicles of Narnia
The Witch and The Wardrobe.
We watched 4 movies. The Little Princess, The Secret Garden, Molly (American Doll).
I loved them all and it was so much fun watching them with my granddaughter.
THEATER
The Magik Children's Theatre
"The Velveteen Rabbit"

Birthday surprise! 
A James Avery Bracelet. 

We stopped at Whole Earth and found a Mood Ring that was a huge hit with Mattie Sue.
I have to add here: we went to see the Tom's shoes at Whole Earth. She tried the pair on she liked and then said they fit me now but I think in a short time they will be to tight. And she loved them. 8 going on 30.
THE AUNTIES
Met up with her Aunties at Stone Works
Big hug for Auntie Jessica.

Big hug for Auntie Jenny

Lunch :)

Day  before the Derby. Showing off the hats for a party.
The Cousins
Pizza and a movie with Ryan and Sammy. 
Cousin time.
Derby Day
We had to have hats for Derby Day so we made one and shared it while the race was on.



Roses from our garden in Mattie Sue's room.
ACTIVITIES (just some)
Playing with surfing sunbathing barbies is always a favorite.

Enjoying an afternoon outside playing music.

Survivor Fan. Chip off the old block. Yes I have a buff just like the real TV survivors. Thank you Jessica. 

Late night fun! Slumber party each night. 

A favorite thing to do is play in the jewelry drawer.

UNO !

Chipping away for precious stones. Mattie Sue found 4 of them. 
ZOO
A beautiful day at the Zoo
Mattie Sues favorite were the sea horses. But the picture came out blurry. :(

Lucky
MOVIE
Spell bound! Mattie Sue and Ryan and I went to see the Croonies. 
I think that is what the name was. Think they liked it?

NAMA DOTTY'S HOUSE
Visit to Nama Dotty's house.
This is always a favorite visit. There are so many things to see and the girls always know where to go look. Nama Dotty always has such interesting things to see and hear about.
FARM 
Trip to Spring Branch to visit the farm and Auntie Jenny. Mattie Sue drove us around until we 

 discovered one of the goats got into the garden and helped himself to the veggies. He was HUGE after his unscheduled meal! 
The goat was showing Auntie Jenny how he got into the garden so she tied it up. 


Mattie Sue and I had to help hold the goats while Jenny drove us back to the barn. That was not an easy task. They were making noise and trying to wiggle away from us. Always some excitement going on whenever we go there. So fun. An adventure sure to be had and a fun place for the kids to go.
