Grammie spends the time between visits quilting and buying presents.
The first present was 'Baby'. This fit Grammie's 'babying' instincts. Baby came with clothes that unzipped, unbuckled and untied.	Francesca shows her appreciation with no inhibitions. This elaborate set of gears suited Mommie's engineering profession.

Then there were Granddad's favorite 'cutsie' pictures that he couldn't resist.
Francesca & Granddad square off.	Francesca the Engineer!	It takes two Grand Parents to handle her.

Friday we visited the Ripley Aquarium. Francesca has grown since her last visit.
She went right at the Horseshoe Crabs.	She posed for this picture.

This time she went right into the cave. Last visit, she would not go in even with Mommy. Then she had to explore all the barrels.

Back at home was fun as well.
Granddad searched for months for a wading pool to make an indoor sand beach. Francesca loved her 'boat'; with or without sand.

Francesca is fascinated with clasps and can't pass one up.	Dad came a few day later. Boy! Francesca was glad when he got here.

The family took a boat ride on the Waccamaw River. Francesca steered the boat and enjoyed herself. Everyone seemed to have a good time but we didn't stay out but two hours. Granddad didn't take pictures because he wanted to make sure every thing went safely.
