the grandchildren

• up • the grandchildren • cairo • pyramids • upper egypt •

This, of course, is my real reason for going to Egypt again


This is the welcome sign that was waiting for me.  In the back was a pocket they had made
that was filled with months worth of art and little gifts.


I watched the three oldest, Asia, Eden, and India while Matthew and Rachel took a week trip to India.


One of the places I took the girls, a fun place to eat where you sit on bean bags


And of course, there was my newest granddaughter, Samara, who I met for the first time

   


Fun little India, I really bonded with her a lot on this trip

Matthew, Heidi, and I at a wonderful Lebanese restaurant in Cairo


I bought a small tent to have in my backyard for the grandchildren.  It is colorful and fun


Picture this on the grass with trees instead of garbage?


It is surprising how much strength Eden has in those skinny little arms


The day before I left, we took a trip to the Red Sea.  This is Asia with one of her shell treasures

The Whoolery girls LOVE books.  And crafts, too
