To Grandmother's House we Go...

Maddie, Steph and Dan visited Grandma and Grandpa Bailey this weekend and had quite a time of it. Somehow everytime we go somewhere on a big family trip Maddie ends up in the emergency room! This weekend she put her hand in the minivan door as it was closing and crunched her thumb and first finger in the door...a quick trip to the Arrowhead hospital and Maddie seems to be much better. Her finger is black and blue, but she has a new friend, Dr. Blueberry Pi (named after her ER doc, Dr. Pi) and the fact that it is a bright blue stuffed bear from The Wishing Bear in Arrowhead. A good memory from a bummer afternoon for our little bear.

We also visited Temecula the wine region of S. California, and Dan got many tasting notes in two quick tasting rooms. Maddie thought the stage and lawn area outside the tasting room was more fun, as well as the skateboarders and giant poodle we met.

Many hours of coloring, painting, making footprints with water on the patio and generally hanging out with grandparents made for a memorable weekend. Mom even managed to find 1 hour to outlet shop for new Carter's PJs for a quickly growing little girl.
