The other day Julianna and I went to the store for a few items including dried beans for the bean bags. Here's what the route to the store looks like.
On the way there is a public bus stop. Usually there are a lot of people waiting on the bus but only a few were when we passed by. Some of the older men and women don't actually get on the bus - they just sit and watch the action. Perhaps Granddaddy and I will do that one day with the locals?!
When we got to the store, Julianna posed out front.
Inside Julianna procured a shopping basket.
Then we walked the aisles looking for all the items we needed.
Finally we went to the cash register where we checked out. Julianna did such a good job as my shopping guide, she got to choose a little treat for herself and Lydia. All in all a very nice outing - kinda strange though depending on your 4-year old granddaughter to do all the translating!
Lydia made a lion puppet.
While the children played with Daddy, Laura, Isaac and I walked around the complex looking at expensive new single family homes (rare here) and a few townhouses too. We all met at a "Bali" style restaurant with fancy dishes and posh couches.
The girls ended the day by playing with (and chasing) marbles that a little boy had at another table.
While we were playing in the bath, Mommy went outside and she said we were laughing so hard she could hear us - from the 4th floor!
We did have a good time as evidenced by the photos.
We finished up with some water flute music.
A good time was had by all.

He's a handsome boy in his "little man" clothes and the delight of the household!
Not to be left out, Lydia joins the fun!
Then a pause for appreciation from the adoring audience of one - love from Grandmama!

Conversation was somewhat limited, but the football was good and I got to hold the clicker too.
