Grammie's Great Babysitting Adventure

Steph and Mickel went to a medical conference in New Orleans, so I took a few days off to stay with my favorite munchkins. After seeing Mom and Dad off at the airport, our adventure was ready to begin!

The next day we went to Lagoon and spent a few hours in Kiddieland. The kids went on a few rides before Kaiya discovered the "Moonraker" and then all selection was over. She loved that ride! And Teague seemed pretty content to go along with her. We would have stayed later but Teagie spilled water all over his pants and it was getting dark and cold, so that was the end of Lagoon day.


Moonraker actually went pretty fast for a kiddie ride, but neither of them seemed fazed by it.

Our busy little bee!

On Sunday night Kaiya came down with a bad case of the stomach flu. Luckily, it was the fast-moving variety, so by Tuesday she felt well enough to go to the Discovery Museum (or Children's Museum, as I still call it). This is such a fantastic place for little ones, with all kinds of imagination-driven activities. Kaiya especially loves the store, and Teagie - of course! - the water feature. Kaiya most definitely did NOT want to leave!



Unfortunately, by Tuesday evening, both Teague and I also came down with the oh-so-icky stomach flu, and that was pretty much the end of the fun part of the whole thing. I was pretty glad to be relieved of duty on Wednesday. You really do forget how much work young children can be. I'm sorry to say that a few days after their return home, Steph and Mickel also fell victim to the flu.
