Around town

Yesterday afternoon after walnut grove, we hung around playing outside with my cousin Timmy's son Eli.  He lives across the street from my grandma.  He shared his bike with Erik and all three kids enjoyed playing in his sandbox.  He has purple sand in his sandbox.  I walked across the road and got some tacos from Taco John and then my aunt Joyce and Uncle Edward played jumprope and swung the kids in the swings while I snuck back and had tacos with my grandma.  She also played cards with me which I really enjoyed. We played 500 and she won the first two games but I finally beat her the third game.  After that I took Erik to look at the community center where we will be having my grandmother's 90th birthday party next July.  My mom wanted me to check it out to decide which size room will be the best. Then we went to the grocery store to pick up some stuff on Grandma's list and picked up a pizza on the way home.  Grandma, Edward, Katie, Erik and I all had pizza together.  Then I set the camera up to take pictures of us.  They aren't the greatest pictures but they got the job done. After Erik went to bed, Ed took Katie outside to look for satellites and the stars.  He pointed out the big dipper to her and some other constellations.  It was about 40 degrees out there, quite a difference from the 100 degree temps back at home.
