Orange and the Festival

| 1 Comment

Anna wore her new "Orange Blossom dress" today and when we were playing "take-the-car-ferry-to-the-Cherry-Blossom-Festival" I said I had to take a picture of her at the festival. The routine is pretty good. Anna brings the chairs from the kids table into the office and sets them up for us to either be one in front of the other or side-by-side. She makes "tickets" of a book and another random little item (today it was a magnet) and we sit in the chairs for a while and pretend like we're watching seagulls and the water go by. Then we get to the festival (the family room) and we set up all of the things there with Legos (car ferry, dock, cherry trees, bouncy room, carousel, and smoothie vendor).

Now we don't end with the festival however. I have to build The Doctor's Office (complete with sparkly waiting benches like the one we go to, a fancy height & weight measuring device, the door you have to push a button to open, and a Lego doctor and chair). I play the part of the doctor and give the patients (her miniature Strawberry Shortcake dolls) shots or clean their hurt knees or heads and put bandages on. Then the patient invariably walks over to "Dunkin' Donuts" to get a donut where they repeatedly hurt their knees and bump their heads all over again. Note this is all done with Legos so it takes an active imagination.

Anna--you look so pretty in your orange blossom dress and I really like your hairdo! I think a lot about the "take-the-car-ferry-to-the-Cherry-Blossom-Festival" too. It was a very fun day. XXXOOO Grandma
