We had an awesome day at Gracie's cousins' picnic. All of the girls played great together. She made a precious sand bucket craft that Aunt Amy stuffed full of toys. They served all of her favorite foods and she even got to meet Alyssa's kitten, Marty ~ she loved how the kitty's fur felt on her face:) Overall the trip was awesome. We did run in to one glitch ~ who decided clowns were for kids? I haven't ever met a child that naturally gravitates towards clowns. . .With that being said, Gracie's Great Uncle Gary (Great in the sense it's her cousin's grandpa, but more so in the fact he is just plain fabulous ~ silly, loving and totally engaged when playing with the kids) decided (all on his own) he would show up at the picnic in full clown garb to surprise the girls with treats and games. Well, he definitely surprised Gracie! She went in to full "scream and cling" mode, similar to her response to Chucky Cheese. Poor Uncle Gary, I think he was more surprised than anyone:( He took off his wig and nose and she settled down a bit but it was not until he came back sans clown that she was o.k. By the end of the party Gracie and Gary were best buddies. When we left she said "I love Uncle Gary, he's so fun". Yes, I agree, Aunt Amy, Aunt Sue and Uncle Gary are great! Thanks so much for including us in your fun!
