Last Sunday was very exciting for Gracie – we got to spend the morning with Elyse, "with no of her parents". Our first stop was Starbucks, where the girls charmed the barista (and everyone in line behind us) by explaining that they are best friends, and they used to go to the same school, but they don’t anymore because Gracie goes to a new school, and she goes to the Friends School, and it’s on Mackworth Island, but they still play together all the time, and on and on and on… Phew. I was already exhausted, but the girls were just getting started. So, I brought them to our house to burn up some of that excited energy – this was accomplished largely by jumping on Grace’s bed. We then all piled in the car for a trip to the local apple orchard. Grace and Elyse each picked their own apples, then refueled with a donut and cider snack (yippee! more excited energy!). This was followed by lots of rolling around together in the grass, climbing on pumpkins, and of course, some great photo opportunities! It’s so much fun having a friend!
