Grandma visits

Yves’ mom came for a visit in August and stayed with us for a week. She was actually here for 2 days in July but that was really a stopover before heading to France to meet the Chopards at Il de Seine for 3 weeks. Sienna took to her right away! That was a relief! I wasn’t sure how she would be because the last time my mother in law was here, it took a couple of days for Sienna to warm up to her. Yves and I even went out on a date! Dinner AND a movie! In the city! We don’t usually venture too far when my dad watches her but I think she is old enough to be able to handle grandpa! Anyway, I digress. We went shopping at Ikea on Long Island one day, grandma took Sienna to the playground while I got my hair done, we went to Coney Island, we went to the Bronx Zoo and did more shopping! Not necessarily in that order! Here are some highlights:

I used to love Tilt-a-Whirl when I was younger too. Now Sienna loves it. (photo by grandma)

a trip to Coney Island isn’t complete without going to Nathan’s!

Another famous face!

Here’s a funny video I took of Sienna while we were shopping in Kohl’s with grandma. This was in July. (Taken with my Ipad2)

I got some fun animal photos while at the zoo. I’d like to do another post on that.

    Hi,

    Nice to look back at my NY vacation..It was a very happy time for me as I could really bond with one of my granddaughters who I see very rarely so it was fabulous. I love you Sienna and thanks to Mom and Dad for a great week.

    All my love
