Grandgirls' Spa

The grandgirls' parents left for rejuvenation outings this weekend so they came to our house for their own R & R.

They visited the breakfast bar on the patio for cinnamon dusted waffles and apple wedges.

They joined the owner for a mid-day swim and relaxation. They practiced their cannonballs, timbeeeeerrrr falls, belly flops, and monkey walks. They engaged in some friendly competition.

On your mark, get set, GO!

Ruby enjoys a slight head start.


They're off!


Ruby ditches her kick board as Heather surges ahead.

And it's a tie!

Sadie warms up poolside in grandma provided towels. This was followed by a moisturizing massage.

Back inside, they recreate the old west and divy up the horses.

It's a perfect way to spend an Arizona day in creative playtime.

They will soon return to back bedroom where they provided R & R for the American Girl dolls .


Then they practiced their tickling skills on the master teacher.

They soon bring to life the sleeping giant who loves them so.

On cleaning the premises after a busy weekend, the owner found the following debris. Please advise as to rightful owners.

Note: Spa owners recovery was enhanced by long Sunday afternoon naps. The many hugs and "I love yous" (especially when given during the Primary lesson for which grandma was substituting) was pay enough!

Laurel I just loved to see the pictures!!! It was good to give a ride back home to Heather. I had an awesome time with her telling me how happy she was for having just girls around. And then It was fun to see Ruby and Saidie at church. Saidie was a good girl at nursery with me!!!

It's a good thing not ALL the parents took off or you would have had a much rowdier crowd! Eric had fun with Julianna and the boys, and Heather had a great time with the girls. Thanks for taking her!

Oh, the orange goggles are Heather's.
