Visiting Great Grandma

The day after we arrived, we visited the girls' Great Grandma to bring her the gifts we bought her as well as those from Cynthia and Jay and to spend a little bit of time with her. It was very warm outside, so we took her in her wheelchair to the courtyard and the girls did a great job of steering the wheelchair from Great Grandma's room through the door to the courtyard. Once in the courtyard, the girls love to hunt for geckos and look at the little phone and the fish, but we tried to encourage them to sit with Great Grandma and ask her questions of growing up, what their Grandma was like as a little kid, and some of her favorite memories. She seems to have a good recall of events when they are further in the past and loves to tell a good story. The girls did well and it was interesting to hear her talk about her life. She enjoyed her gifts and after awhile the girls pushed her back to her room and said goodbye.
