Lake City

We made an overnight trip to FL to meet the newest member of the family, Katelyn. L was in love at first sight of baby Katelyn, she is still talking about her today. While we were in Lake City, we walked to downtown and then to one (of many) lakes in the area. Greatmother brought some bread and W and L, along with the rest of us, ignited a feeding frenzy for the ducks. W and L had never seen such a sight and were totally fascinated. The ducks were happen to entertain as long as the bread kept coming.

On Sunday we attended Katelyn's baby dedication. W and L were able to sit in "big" church with me. I could not have been more impressed with them during the service. They both sat just as politely and quietly as they could. At home, they always go to "church school" a.k.a. the nursery because neither one of them is keen on the idea of sitting in one spot for an hour! A bonus of being in big church was that they got to watch/listen to Greatmother play the organ which she has done at church for 50+ years (well, the piano anyway).

And the fireworks. L missed all them as she was to terrified to even look out the window. She insisted that Grandma stay inside with her and away from all windows, as well. W had a pretty good time outside. He needed some convincing to do the sparklers even though he has been doing them every year since he was 1. I guess his sense of danger is sharpening. W had two favorites--one was a truck that shot fireworks from the tailpipe and the other was a firework that resulted in a parachuting guy after launched. Grandad helped up with the fireworks and also contributed the loud, scary ones to the night.
