When we bought the motor home six years ago, we could only dream of the day when we would have grandchildren coming to visit us in it. Four years later, we became grandparents for the first time, when our granddaughter Carter was born. She has visited us in the motor home several times during the day. But during our month-long stay near Kansas City, we hosted our first ever grandchild sleep-over in the motor home! Carter loves it that we have a steering wheel right in our living room!
We picked a nice weather day, so we could play outside on our campground playground . . .
and could build a camp fire in our front yard. She helped us cook hot dogs for dinner . . .
and ooey-gooey marshmallows for dessert.
We danced the length of the motor home and sang every song we knew while we played the piano.
We're glad to report that Carter slept well, and never once whimpered for Mom and Dad. We've spent so much time with her lately that she knows we can handle anything she needs. The next morning we had art time, as Carter used a piece of broccoli as a brush to paint a fall foliage tree.
That tree will be proudly displayed on our refrigerator for weeks. But we'll remember this first grandchild sleep-over in the motor home forever.
