A Series of Unfortunate Events

We had a wonderful couple of weeks with Granny. Mummy enjoyed seeing her Mummy so much. They talked a lot. Lilli loved playing with Granny. She had some fun games to teach Lilli. In particular Lilli loved the game where finger puppet turtle swims across the rug to nibble on her toes. Turtle then spots a perfect dark corner to hide and swims up Lilli's trouser leg!

Granny's visit was also memorable due to a series of unfortunate events. The day after Granny arrived Lilli succumbed to a cold. Daddy came down with the cold next and finally Granny and Mummy gave in and suffered mildly. The cold epidemic forced us to cancel our weekend trip to Lummi Island with Eric and Gail. Everyone was very upset. Mummy, Granny and Lilli did visit the zoo, but the sun gave way to hail which turned into persistent rain. We all got very wet and didn't see many animals since they were tucked away into nooks and crannies to stay warm and dry. We did watch the baby gorilla playing with his Mummy. Granny and Mummy were fascinated by the gorilla's wonderful faces and expressions. Then of course, the ultimate unfortunate event was Lilli's tumble from the couch and our trip to urgent care.

However, Granny's stay brought some wonderful moments. Mummy and Daddy enjoyed a delicious meal at a local restaurant, Granny and Mummy went to the cinema. One afternoon, Lilli, Granny and Mummy met Daddy for lunch at Microsoft. And Lilli, Granny and Mummy shared lots of fun on the living room floor.
